Slime, sludge, mucus, ooze, goo - it''s all covered in here (but at least you''re not covered in it).

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe ultimate guide to animal flatulence: the perfect gift for anyone who has ever farted.Dogs do it. Millipedes do it. Dinosaurs did it. You do it: I do it. Octopuses don''t (and nor do octopi). Spiders might do it: more research is needed. Birds don''t do it, but they could if they wanted to. Herrings do it to communicate with each other. At the beginning of 2017, an innocent question on twitter about snakes formed the hashtag #doesitfart and spread pungently across the internet - and major newspapers - as dozens of experts weighed in on which animals do and don''t fart, and if they do, how much, how often, what it''s made of, what it smells like, and what it''s for. Does it Fart? is the result: the fully authoritative, fully illustrated guide to animal flatulence, covering the habits of 80 animals in more detail than you ever knew you needed. What foods make hyena farts smell especially bad? What is a fossa, and does it fart? Why do clams vomit but not fart? What is a fart, anyway? With contributions from dozens of biologists, Does it Fart? is a book that will allow you to shift the blame onto all kinds of unlikely animals for years to come.

Dozens of further filthy animal facts and falsehoods: the follow-through to the international bestselling sensation Does it Fart? How many spiders do you eat in your sleep? What does the ice-cream you eat have to do with the back end of a beaver? Do komodo dragons have toxic slobber? Is it true that a scorpion that sheds its tail dies of constipation? How far actually are you from the nearest rat? Can you get high from licking toads, or is that...fake newts?All this and far, far more can be found in True or Poo, a guide to the wonders of the natural world: and a manual for disgusting and one-upping your friends and enemies for years to come.

Humoristisk populärvetenskap i internationell bestseller.

Hundar gör det. Tusenfotingar gör det. Dinosaurier gjorde det. Du gör det. Jag gör det. Spindlar kanske gör det (mer forskning behövs på området). Fåglar gör det inte (fast de skulle kunna om de ville). Men fiser fiskar? År 2017 fick zoologen Dani Rabaiotti en fråga från sin tonåriga lillebror: Fiser ormar? Rabaiotti visste inte vad hon skulle svara, och vände sig i sin frustration till Twitter. Hennes oskyldiga fråga där genererade snart hashtagen #doesitfart som spred sig som en riktig äggmök. En lång rad experter engagerade sig i ämnet och det blev snart tydligt att allmänheten krävde mer kunskap om djurens pruttande. ”Fiser fiskar?” kom till för att tillgodose det behovet. I denna fullödigt illustrerade och välresearchade guide till djurens väderspänningar, bjuds det på information om åttio djurs fjärtar i mer detalj än du någonsin visste att du önskade dig.

Varför luktar hyenors fisar särskilt illa?

Varför spyr musslor istället för att prutta?

Vad är en fjärt egentligen?

Och vem har släppt sig?

”Fiser fiskar?” är boken som kommer att flytta svaret på den sista frågan till alla möjliga tidigare otänkbara kandidater i djurvärlden.
