Animals That Lose Their Limbs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781482471717)

Some animals have a strange advantage--they can lose limbs! That might sound odd, but it's a lifesaver when the animal is in the grips of a predator. This isn't something any animal can do at will. It's an adaptation. Readers of this motivating volume will learn more about this important adaptation and some of the animals that have evolved to rely on it, including axolotls, newts, and sea stars. In the vivid photographs that accompany the accessible text, they'll learn how key this behavior is to survival. Fact boxes and a graphic organizer add more information and reinforce curricular concepts.
