The story
A platypus hunts with its eyes closed, sensing tiny electric signals with its bill. An axolotl can regrow a whole leg. A narwhal wears a spiral tusk that is really a giant tooth, and a leafy seadragon looks exactly like drifting seaweed.
What you'll learn
- The platypus finds food by sensing faint electricity in the water.
- Axolotls can regrow limbs, and scientists study how.
- A narwhal's tusk is a tooth packed with nerve endings.
- Kid takeaway: nature is stranger than fiction, and all of it is checkable.
