Vampire Bat Mother Nature Is Trying To Kill You

Mother Nature Is Trying to Kill You: A Lively Tour Through the Dark Side of the Natural World Hardcover – 2014
by Dan Riskin Ph.D. (Author)

A fun exploration of the darker side of the natural world reveals the fascinating, weird, often perverted ways that Mother Nature fends only for herself.

It may be a wonderful world, but as Dan Riskin (cohost of Discovery Canada’s Daily Planet) explains, it’s also a dangerous, disturbing, and disgusting one. At every turn, it seems, living things are trying to eat us, poison us, use our bodies as their homes, or have us spread their eggs. In Mother Nature Is Trying to Kill You, Riskin is our guide through the natural world at its most gloriously ruthless.
