A bird egg, a lump of coal, a cacao pod, a mermaid's purse, a fossil, a pine-cone, an owl pellet, a chrysalis - the world is filled with curious objects made by plants, animals, and even the Earth itself. Dive into this collection of more than 100 intriguing items from the natural world and discover the stories behind them. Learn how bristly mouths help huge whales capture tiny animals, how minute scales make butterflies shine in the sunlight, and how studying a leaf skeleton can tell us how it transports food.
