Lies (people believe) About Animals

- "Snake's are slimy."
- "Bats are blind."
- "A tarantula's bite is dangerous."
- "Bears hibernate in winter."
- "Porcupines shoot their quills."

These 'facts' just aren't true and this delightful scientific look at various animals explains to the reader how each 'lie' came to be and then presents the truth.

With striking black-and-white photos by acclaimed photographer Fred Leavitt, each animal is featured in one or two pages filled with fascinating facts about its life, habits, and much, much more.
