Exploding Ants
by Joanne Settel
To protect its colony, there is a kind of ant that explodes and sprays out a chemical that kills an enemy. A butterfly larva resembles a bird dropping to protect itself from a predator, while a wasp lays its eggs in other larva to provide living food to its young hatchlings. Birds, with no hands for carrying, swallow food and regurgitate it to feed their hungry nestlings, and there is a small worm that lives in and feeds on the mucus in a dog's nose. This book is filled with fascinating stories of how creatures adapt to the natural world in order to feed themselves, care for their young, and find safety in their environment. Full-color photos.

Wildlife-Habitat Relationships
by Michael L. Morrison
Symbiosis
by Alvin Silverstein
There are many strange relationships in nature where different kinds of animals and plants come together for the benefit of at least one partner. These partnerships are called symbiosis. This title discusses and gives examples of the three kinds of symbiosis: mutalism, commensalism, and parasitism. Pairs described include: giant clams and green algae, sharks and remora fish, honey guides and ratels, and red ants and large blue butterflies. Human symbiotic relationships with animals, plants, and microorganisms are considered as well. This volume concludes with a chapter about symbiosis in the future. For example, it explains why the space program is concerned about symbiosis.

by Barbara Taylor
