Come face to face with our vanishing wildlife. Using unique Photicular
technology, Wild brings to vivid life the animals who are under threat
of extinction. It turns abstract numbers and names into touching and
unforgettable images.
From the cover panda, lazily munching on leaves, to an albatross
swooping its magnificent wings, to the hovering bumblebee, among the
most critical of threatened animals in terms of its effect on the global
food supply, Wild captures eight endangered animals in living motion. We
see gorillas at play, a rhinoceros and its baby trotting across the
savanna, a pangolin skittering along the landscape, an elephant bathing
in a river.
An opening essay explores the environmental and economic threats to
animal populations and how conservationists are working to slow--and
when they can, reverse--the damage. Profiles of each animal accompany
the images.
Wild joins four other books in the Photicular series--Safari, Ocean,
Polar, and Jungle.
