Baby giant water bugs, like true bugs, have piercing-sucking mouthparts. Water bugs catch small fish, stab them with their beak-like mouthparts and squirt special juices into the fish. These juices change the fish's insides into a soft goo - perfect for 'babies' to slurp up.
The company of wolves
The company of wolves The reintroduction of predators such as wolves and
bears into central Europe is starting to cause problems when they
come into contact with humans. The central European populations of
these animals had previously been hunted to near extinction by the
mid-19th century. Residents, especially farmers, in the areas these
predators have been reintroduced to, must now re-learn how to
coexist with these protected species. 6 FEBRUARY 1999, P. 18-19
