Nature's Cleaners

By Bobbie Kalman

Book Overview

All living things die. Fortunately, nature has "cleaners" that eat decomposing things. Scavengers, detrivores, and decomposers are three groups of living things that use the leftover energy in things that have died. From hyenas and vultures eating carcasses, to mushrooms feeding on rotting wood, to dung beetles rolling in animal waste, this book has it all in vivid color! Teacher's guide available.
