The Animal Kingdom: An African Adventure
J.K. Riley
Beautifully illustrated with a narrative that is both fast paced and engaging, this book takes you on a living adventure through Africa, the second largest continent in the world, home to a great variety of animals, and to the greatest number of free-ranging wild animal populations, from carnivores to herbivores to jungle creatures to aquatic life.Discover the fastest animal on land, how gorillas rarely attack except if threatened, how giraffes sing to one another in frequencies that humans cannot hear, how the incredible memory of elephants affects their relationships, how the stripes of zebras are used to camouflage and confuse their predators, why the lion is known as the king of the jungle, and much, much more.
