How to Snog a Hagfish! Disgusting Things in the Sea

Explores the most bizarre, the most disgusting and the most fascinating creatures that inhabit the oceans. Did you know that when attacked, the hagfish (also known as the slime eel) ties itself in a knot that travels the length of its body, squeezing out mucus by the bucketful and making it impossible for a predator to keep hold? To eat, a starfish regurgitates its stomach, digests its food then swallows its stomach back down again. Highly illustrated, and with stories and anecdotes that help bring a human perspective, this book demystifies the natural world beneath the waves, and shows how it’s not quite so shocking when you understand why these creatures have developed the way they have.
