“Excellently illustrated and providing a treasure trove of interesting information about symbiotic relationships.” —Booklist
Heard about the fish that clean shark teeth? Or the frog that lives with a tarantula? Welcome to the weird world of symbiosis–where animals form incredible relationships.
Macken Murphy, host of the popular animal podcast Species, introduces his favorite symbiotic relationships in his first kids’ nonfiction audiobook, Animal Sidekicks. Along the way he explains the cool science behind the baffling behaviour of some animals–from friendly alliances to pesky parasites. Murphy skillfully brings to life head-scratching relationships in nature, including:
* The crab that wears a sea urchin as a hat
* The bat that goes to bed inside a plant
* The warthog that likes a mongoose massage
You’ll even find out about symbiotic relationships including YOU! (Hint–is your head ever itchy?) By the end of the audiobook you won’t look at nature in the same way again!
