BEHOLD THE BEAUTIFUL DUNG BEETLE

Book ID/图书代码： 02920014B68790

English Summary/英文概要： Simple science text and dramatic illustrations give a close-up view of the fascinating world of the dung beetle. When an animal lightens its load, dung beetles race to the scene. They battle over, devour, hoard, and lay their eggs in the precious poop. Dung is food, drink, and fuel for new life—as crucial to these beetles as the beetles are to many habitats, including our own.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 简单的科学文字描述配之以夸张的图片，本书将带领你近距离观察屎壳郎的神奇世界。每当有动物排泄完自己粪便后，屎壳郎便会迅速前往现场。它们与粪便进行斗争后，吞食并囤积，最终将自己的卵缠在珍贵的粪便之上。粪便是食物，是水源，更是新生命的营养来源---这些粪便对于屎壳郎的重要性丝毫不逊于屎壳郎对于许多其他生物的重要性，其中亦包括人类本身。（DC）
