Sinossi

Dangerous Hatchlings explores the fascinating world of young predators, examining how certain animals are equipped from birth with the instincts and abilities to hunt. The book focuses on species such as sharks, crocodiles, and venomous snakes, illuminating the interplay between innate behaviors and environmental factors in shaping their predatory skills. One intriguing fact is that some hatchlings exhibit complex hunting strategies without prior learning, suggesting a strong genetic component. Moreover, the book emphasizes that early life experiences significantly influence their development, highlighting the ongoing "nature versus nurture" debate in wildlife biology.

 
This book uniquely combines detailed case studies with broader ecological and evolutionary contexts. It progresses from foundational concepts like natural selection and predator-prey relationships to in-depth analyses of specific species and their hunting techniques. The approach emphasizes the importance of considering both genetic predispositions and environmental influences when studying animal behavior.

 
Ultimately, Dangerous Hatchlings offers valuable insights into the lives of these young predators and the conservation implications of understanding their early development.

Weird Canadian Animals

Wendy Pirk

From strange behaviour to interesting prey-vs.-predator relationships to fantastical creatures, the animal world is full of fascinating facts about our furry, feathered and scaly friends:
		 
The wood frog burrows into the leaf litter in winter; its heart, brain and eyeballs freeze, and they defrost again in the spring.
		 
In 2006, a hunter shot and killed a hybrid of a grizzly and a polar bear, dubbed a grolar or pizzly bear, the first to be found in the wild.
		 
The bombardier beetle protects itself by expelling a boiling hot chemical spray from its rear end.
		 
A woodpecker’s tongue is so long that it rolls up in the bird’s skull like a tape measure in its case.
		 
Rabbits produce two kinds of stool: one that the animal eats, which is rich in vitamins and nutrients, and another that is waste matter.
		 
Some clever crows drop nuts onto roadways so that passing vehicles drive over them and break the shells open.
		 
The horned lizard defends itself by squirting blood from its eyes.
		 
Canada was home to 2.5-metre-long giant sea scorpions 400 million years ago.
		 
And so much more…
