Description
You've probably heard all these before: a wagging tail means a dog is happy, a baby bird handled by a human will be rejected by its mother, centipedes have 100 legs… basic facts, right? WRONG! Dig deeper into these assumptions and uncover the truth in the goofy Myth Busters: Animal Errors book. For example, it seems to be common knowledge that bulls hate red, but in reality, bulls are colorblind! They are simply enraged by the prodding that happens before bull fights and angrily target any movement within the arena. Flip through the 48 pages to learn the truth behind more common misconceptions and be forced to think again! 48 pgs., pb. ~ Sarah E
