  Book Description:
  What plant is as heavy as 100 elephants and as tall as a 27-story building?Why does a skunk cabbage wear a hood? What kind of lily pad is strong enough to stand on?How does the cobra plant catch its prey?If you’re curious about the natural world, you’ll be amazed by Skunk Cabbage, Sundew Plants, and Strangler Figs. Get a close-up look at the wild, crazy, and daring lives of plants that can fly, hitch rides, float, hibernate––and even grow fur! Find out about pitcher plants, which kill and eat animals; Austrian orchids that bloom underground; tank bromeliads, which have entire communities of animals living inside them; and many more. This wonderfully detailed guide from the author of Pet Bugs; More Pet Bugs; and Stink Bugs, Stick Insects, and Stag Beetles unearths the wildest, weirdest plants in the world, as well as the surprisingly bizarre behaviors of everyday plants, trees, and shrubs.
