Living in the Wild by Michael Chinery
Divided into four sections, this book look at each aspect of survival. The first section, "Animal Habitats", presents an animal's usual environment and looks at species with special adaptations that allow them to live where others cannot. The second section, "The Hunt for Food" covers the diets of herbivores, carnivores - both hunters and scavengers - and omnivores, that eat both meat and plants. "Living Together", the third section, explains how animals communicate with each other, and why. Finally, "New Life" shows the sheer variety of parental behaviour, from the butterfly that dies soon after laying eggs, to the gorillas which look after their offspring for up to ten years. A supplement to school studies, the book sets out the link between an animal's adaptations and its environment clearly, bringing the subject to life with photography, myth panels, folk tales and legends about animals.| SKU | Unavailable |
