From the polar bear that endures icy temperatures of -40 degrees
Fahrenheit during the arctic winter to the kangaroo that lives in areas
with less than 10 inches of rainfall a year, this engaging book
describes and illustrates almost every kind of habitat where animals
flourish.
In a clear and concise style, each entry describes the habitat
characteristic of each animal and how it copes with ecological factors
such as shrinking natural surroundings, seasonal migration, and
competition for feeding grounds. Vivid color photographs place the
animals in their natural environment while at the same time show an
aspect of their behavioral habits.
Animal Habitats is a fascinating book which will delight and inspire
readers. It is an indispensable guide that can be used in schools and at
home.
