Skinny legs blur ... Split hooves fly ... Meet the antelope! Brimming
with vivid photos and scientific facts, Antelopes treats middle-grade
researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of the
marvelous members in this group of African mammals, from gazelles to
wildebeest. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and
life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animal's
relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and
a glossary support the main text, while an antelope tale from South
Africa adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
