Dramatic Displays (Amazing Nature)

How does a porcupine fish scare off its enemy? What is mimicry? How does a widowbird attract a mate? Dramatic Displays reveals the different ways that animals and plants communicate with each other. The book explores all types of display in the living world, from those designed to attract a mate to those used to warn off enemies. Displays are also used to confuse or distract other animals through mimicry or camouflage. Displays can be visual or vocal; they can be very obvious or as subtle as a raised eyebrow. This book investigates them all.
