Sensory exotica : a world beyond human experience / by Hughes, Howard C.(CARDINAL)322155;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The book is divided into four parts: biosonar, biological compasses, electroreception, and the scents of attraction. Although it is filled with fascinating descriptions of animal sensitivities - the sonar system of a bat, for example, rivals that of the most sophisticated human-made devices - the author's goal is to explain the anatomical and physiological principles that underlie them. Knowledge of these mechanisms has practical applications in areas as diverse as marine navigation, biomedical sciences, and nontoxic pest control. It can also help us to obtain a deeper understanding of more familiar sensory systems and the brain in general."--BOOK JACKET.

Line up! : animals in remarkable rows / by Stockdale, Susan,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)317529;
"Much like humans, many animals line up for a variety of reasons. Rather than forming lines for the school bus or recess, the animals featured in Susan Stockdale's book form lines for safety: baby Mallard ducklings follow their mother to the water for their first swim ; warmth: turtles climb into a stacked line for a better share of the sun's rays ; navigation: Arctic wolves follow the prints in the snow left by the pack leader ; food: ants line up to follow the scent of their leader to food and safety ; travel: pink flamingos form a line to reduce wind resistance and fly more efficiently. Featuring birds, crustaceans, fish, insects, mammals, and reptiles from around the world, Line Up is a cozy and comforting book that reminds us of our similarities while illuminating some specific, distinctive behaviors." -- Amazon.com.Ages 2-5Grades K-1

"A sweet, fun, and informative picture book about bat echolocation for kids 3-7. Written by a scientist who works with bats in his everyday life! It's time for Fiona the fruit bat to take her very first flight, but she's scared. How will she fly when she can't see in the dark? Mama just says, "listen." But how will listening help her to see? Then she hears a mysterious sound from deep in her cave. To find out what's making that noise--and to finally fly--Fiona will have to unlock a secret hidden inside herself. Written by biologist and bestselling author Dan Riskin, and rooted in the real-life biology of short-tailed fruit bats, this adorable story features: The fascinating science behind echolocation, including backmatter pages with information on fruit bats from the author. A comforting message to help kids scared of the dark: Alongside Fiona, they'll learn there's nothing to be scared of! A celebration of self-confidence and independence: Shows readers the amazing things they can accomplish all on their own.

Wings & beaks / by Miller, Tessa,author.(CARDINAL)793675;
Throughout time, people have looked to the skies and dreamed of flying. In 1903, the Wright brothers finally achieved flight, but only after years of studying birds. In Animal Tech : Wings and Beaks, readers will follow the stories of the scientists and engineers who have observed, studied, and micmicked the abilities of flying creatures, from bees and dragonflies to bats and birds. Students will be inspired to explore STEM fields after learning how the study of the skies has led to fascinating and life-changing technology that has shaped our world.750LAccelerated Reader AR
