What shape is wombat poo and why? Why might a crab turn into a zombie? What does a tree-shrew use as a toilet? And which creature actually wants to be eaten? In the animal kingdom, food is essential, but digestion is a complex process. Every animal, from starfish to giraffes, vultures to bees, eats, digests, and excretes in its own unique way—and there’s always a fascinating reason behind it. This brilliantly illustrated book explores the digestive systems of a wide variety of animals, revealing the surprising science of digestion across species.
