Nature Stinks! Animals You Don't Want As Pets is a nonfiction book for those 10 and up that highlights animals with offensive smells. Each one possesses other amazing, bizarre, or admirable qualities that might make you wish you could bring one home. Mom might not appreciate the fact that your turkey vulture defecates down its leg when it is frightened. And Dad may not love the hole torn through the wall the wolverine makes to escape. Each of these creatures is "wild"ly interesting, but best left in its natural habitat where it can stink to its heart's content.
