Your Pets Secret Lives: the Truth Behind Your Pets' Wildest Behaviors by Eleanor Spicer Rice

3.75

Did you know that rabbits and guinea pigs will eat their poop to digest its nutrients? How about that a Burmese python could eat a whole deer? What about that the female parakeet will put male parakeets through a singing test before they accept them as a mate? In this quirky, goofy look at the secret lives of pets, readers will learn gross, funny, and fascinating facts about animals that we invite into our home as pets. The sections of this book are broken up by pet type, and each section has between 4 and 6 chapters. There are goofy illustrations supporting the different sections. I thought it was neat that the last chapter shares information about the careers that study each category of pets, like herpetologists who study reptiles and amphibians and cynologists who study dogs! The backmatter includes a bibliography.
