YEI Book review
Christmas might seem like months away, but here’s a book (The buck that buries its poo) that you can buy and store away as a Christmas present for the person in your life who enjoys fascinating information and fun trivia and who is a wildlife enthusiast and/or lover of the busy. A book that dispels countless myths and answers many intriguing wildlife questions. Questions like:
- Is a zebra black with white stripes, or could it be white with black stripes?
- Do sharks die if they stop swimming?
- Why do bats hang upside down?
- What’s up with the flamingo’s one-legged stance?
- Is it fact or myth that chameleon’s change colour to camouflage themselves?
