For many animals, danger lurks in every corner of the rainforest. From brightly colored poison-dart frogs, whose poison is used by hunters to tip their arrows, to snakes and spiders with venomous fangs that inflict instant death, Poisoners and Pretenders shows how nature has provided many of these animals with bright warning colors and camouflaged skin to help protect them from other hungry animals. Topics include: creepy caterpillars, spiders, scorpions, and centipedes, fearsome frogs, venomous snakes, bluffing it out, and hide and seek.
