Join bestselling author Steve Mould to uncover nature's greatest scientists, engineers, and mathematicians from plants that can count to architect insects. If you thought all scientists wear white coats and work in labs, think again! Meet amazing engineers, such as the spiders who build immense webs from different kinds of silk; funky physicists, like the bats that can see with sound; and surprising chemists, such as the corpse flower that smells like smelly socks to attract insects to pollinate it! The science behind each genius adaptation is explained clearly in Steve Mould's trademark humorous style and you'll be amazed by nature's solutions to some of the world's trickiest problems. Clever Creatures is a brilliant introduction to some of nature's cleverest animals and plants. You'll never look at nature the same way again!"-- provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Animals $x Adaptation $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Adaptation (Biology) $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Devolle, John $c (Illustrator), $e illustrator. 700 1 $a Myklebust, Bettina Stovne, $e illustrator. 941 $a 3 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063014.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20201007083011.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200724010150.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F512E7E8CD7211EABC1FA90E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
