How animals defend themselves
Ward, Ashley2025
Book
To survive in the animal kingdom, creatures big and small have developed clever and sometimes surprising ways to stay alive. Find out how tarantulas shoot arrow-like hairs from their bum when threatened or how the pearlfish hides inside a sea cucumber's bum to escape predators. When it comes to survival, anything goes! Written by Dr Ashley Ward, associate professor of Animal Behaviour at the University of Sydney, Australia, this series explores a wide range of animal behaviours from survival skills and animal communication to how animals learn and adapt to live in the most extreme environments.
