Publisher Comments:
The creators of "Poop" and "Extreme Animals" return with this in-depth look at how parasites--mites, lice, fleas, ticks, and tapeworms--make their homes on (and in) other creatures, including humans. Full color.
Synopsis:
It's the little things that count as the creators of Poop and Extreme Animals return to expose the parasites among us.
Mites and lice, fleas, ticks, and tapeworms (most living creatures that have a habitat also are a habitat, including you; are you itchy yet?). Unwelcome guests, parasites are everywhere, from the barnacles hitching a ride on a humpback whale's head to the tiny flies that control a bee's brain and make it literally dig its own grave. Now an expert team returns for an in-depth look at how these insidious critters do it, whether it's leaping aboard moving targets or morphing their body shapes, and what their unwitting hosts have learned to do to fight back and reclaim their space.
