Why might a crab turn into a zombie?

What does a tree-shrew use as a toilet?

And which creature WANTS to be eaten?

Food is what keeps every animal alive, including us. But eating is not as simple as it seems. Bodies need to break down the food they eat, and this is where the digestive system plays a starring role. A starfish, a giraffe, a vulture, and a bee eat, digest, and poo in very different ways, and there's always a reason why.

This fabulously illustrated book opens up the digestive systems of a dizzying range of vertebrates and invertebrates, and explains why, in the animal kingdom, you really are what you eat!

Eatopedia by Aina Bestard explores these fascinating digestive secrets, providing insight into the remarkable processes of eating and digesting across the animal world.
