Even though plants may look innocent, some species contain deadly toxins that can kill tiny insects, large animals, and even unsuspecting people. This volume explores the deadly plants among us, and equips readers with the tools they need to identify them. Through an examination of several poisonous plant species, this text explores important science concepts such as plant survival and adaptations, life cycles, and ecosystems. By the end of this text, readers will learn why poison is a successful and essential plant defense.
