The wasp that brainwashed the caterpillar

Simon, Matt2017
Large Print
For fans of 'What If?' and 'New Scientist' comes this brilliantly funny and informative look at the stranger side of evolution. Featuring: the Zombie ants mind-controlled by a fungus; beautiful salamanders that can regenerate any part of their bodies, including their brains; the mantis shrimp, which fires its club-like appendage so fast that the surrounding water becomes as hot as the surface of the sun; the Antechinus, whose runaway testosterone levels cause them to have so much sex during their three-week mating season that they bleed internally, go blind, and drop dead.
