Title: When lunch fights back
Description: Presents the various types of defenses mechanisms used by animals, including the bone spikes of the African hairy frog, the deadly poison of the blue-spotted N. taracua termite, and the hammer-like punch of the peacock mantis shrimp.

Good defenses can make the difference between surviving a predator's attack and becoming its lunch. This book profiles nine animals and one plant with particularly noxious defense mechanisms.
