Publisher's Synopsis
Some animals have a cool characteristic--they can glow in the dark! That might sound odd, but it can be helpful for several reasons, such as attracting mates and prey. But this isn't something any animal can do. It's an adaptation that evolved in just some species over a long period of time. Readers of this motivating volume will learn more about this important adaptation and some of the animals that rely on it, including fireflies, comb jellies, and anglerfish. Budding wildlife biologists will especially appreciate the stunning photographs that accompany the achievable text. Fact boxes add interesting information to the curricular concepts.
