What lizard shoots blood out of its eyes? Why do turtles have shells and rattlesnakes rattles? Explore the fascinating animal kingdom while thinking like a zoologist as we examine fur, feathers, bones, teeth, claws, scales and skeletons. Meet and interact with live animals like leopard geckos, bearded dragons, king snakes, pythons, mice, toads, salamanders and many more; investigate how slugs move without legs; study animals with a third eyelid and insects with ears on their legs; learn all about a proper hermit crab setup and the biggest sea turtle that ever lived; and make many more exciting zoology discoveries.
Notes:
