From scaly alligators to furry pandas, and from sprinting cheetahs to
swooping owls, the world of animals is wonderfully diverse. This popular
series travels the planet to study these and other fascinating mammals,
birds, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates. Beautiful photos are paired
with STEM-appropriate text to examine the featured creature's
appearance, habitat, behaviors, and life cycle. Each reissued title also
presents a folk story that people have used to help explain the animal's
appearance or behavior. This revised edition surveys key aspects of
kangaroos, describing the hopping marsupials' appearance, behaviors, and
habitats. A folk tale explains why these creatures move around by
jumping.
