Super Pollinators
Bats, possums, hummingbirds and mosquitoes may look different, but they all share a superpower: they are pollination heroes!
Discover the extraordinary world of animal pollinators in Super Pollinators: Keeping the World in Bloom. Whether they are furry or shiny, scaly or feathered, tiny or enormous, each has a unique, and often strange, relationship with plants.
Over 350,000 species of flowering plants depend on pollinators to reproduce and make seeds. Flowers use an astonishing array of colours, scents, shapes, tricks and lures to attract animals. Pollinators have their own amazing adaptations to reach the goodies hidden within a flower.
Meet hundreds of surprising pollinators, from gliders, lemurs, honeyeaters and gerbils to frogs, cockroaches, beetles and flies. Discover their remarkable behaviours, and the important role they play in our environment. Filled with stunning illustrations and incredible photographs, Super Pollinators is an enticing and fascinating exploration of Earth’s pollination wonders.
