The rabies virus can cause zombie-like behavior, such as confusion, partial paralysis that may cause a lumbering gait, aggression, and excessive salivation. The anglerfish's head protrusion glows with bioluminescent bacteria in the darkest depths of the ocean to lure its prey to their death. The parasitic sea louse eats a fish's tongue and then replaces it with its own body. Through dynamic visuals and lively storytelling, readers will discover these bizarre facts and others as they explore the stranger and darker side of science. Colorful images, intriguing sidebars, and accessible text lead students back in time, under the sea, and into the bodies of organisms both living and dead in pursuit of wild and kooky knowledge. Features include: Offers an entertaining look at offbeat subjects to get readers excited about science. Correlates with Next Generation Science Standards for the physical sciences and life sciences. Contains Chapter Notes and Further Reading sections to provide additional resources for study.
