Eatopedia: The Wild World of Animal Digestion [9781962098199]

Overview

“Fact-filled, no-nonsense compendium on animal digestive systems… to be savored and pored over” —Booklist, STARRED review

Discover how some fascinating members of the animal kingdom eat and get eaten in this fabulously illustrated encyclopedia that explains why, in the animal kingdom, you really are what you eat!

Food fuels our bodies but eating and digesting is not simple—bodies need to break down the food they eat, and this is where the digestive system plays a starring role. The animal world is so incredibly varied that a starfish, a giraffe, a bearded vulture, a barnacle, and a bee all carry out the task of eating in very different ways. The superhero in charge of this mission is the digestive system.

Inside Eatopedia, you'll explore the diverse ways 70 fascinating creatures, from invertebrates to vertebrates, eat, digest, and poop. Complemented by labeled, detailed anatomical illustrations of each digestive system, plus loads of fun facts, you'll find the answers to the questions: What’s their favorite food? When do they eat? Who eats them? A bonus glossary in the back breaks down terms from "apex predator" to "vertebrate."
