Rotten!: Vultures, Beetles, Slime, and Nature's Other Decomposers

A funny and fact-filled look at decomposition in all of its slimy glory, illustrated withÂ dazzling full-color art by Gilbert Ford. Vultures, fungi, dung beetles, and more aid in this fascinating and sometimes smelly aspect of the life cycle thatâ€™s right under our noses.

Whatâ€™s that terrible smell? Itâ€™s the revolting scent of rot. But being rotten isnâ€™t necessarily bad. If nothing ever rotted, nothing new could live.
Decomposition may seem like the last stop on the food chain, but itâ€™s just the beginning. When dead plants and animals decay, they give life to a host of other creatures, and each one helps ecosystems thrive. Decomposition happens in the forest, the oceanâ€”even in your stomach and between your teeth! From vultures and sharksÂ to bacteria, maggots, mushrooms, and more, discover the dirty rotten truth about one of natureâ€™s most fascinating processes.
