Description
What do animals do when they're under attack? Some run. Some hide. But did you know that some animals defend themselves from predators by fighting back? The animals in this book defend themselves in some pretty amazing ways-including methods that use slime, blood, or poison! There's a lizard that can shoot blood from its eyes and an ant that explodes for the good of the colony. Read this book to learn more about these amazing animals and the ways they defend themselves!
