| Summary |
"Hexapus. Two-headed snake. Spider worm. They sound like creatures from horror movies, but they are all real-life mutants that creep, crawl, and slither among us. In "Things That Make You Go Yuck!: Mystifying Mutants," you'll learn that genes can be a freaky and fascinating business. From two-toned lobsters to squirrel kittens, this book showcases the strangest and most shocking genetic mutants in the plant and animal kingdom. Whether it's nature's slimiest organizations or the weirdest mutations, "Things That Make You Go Yuck!" celebrates survival of the fittest, grossest, craziest, and creepiest things in nature, proving once and for all that life in the wild is anything but ordinary."-- Provided by publisher. |
