Books with title First Animal Encyclopedia Polar Animals

The sheer varity of living animal species is staggering. So too is the diversity of form, behavior, and adaptation to environmental conditions they display. Even in seemingly in hospitable environments-the frozen vastness of the Artic and Antarctic, the arid heat of deserts, and the rocky bleakness of some alpine regions-countless species of animals have evolved characteristics that enable them not only to survive, but also positively to florish. This encyclopedia presents a wide-ranging survey of three major groups of living things. 1. Mammals, 2. Modern reptiles and Amphibians.

Which animal has a tongue as long as its body? How does a whale breathe? Why do zebras have stripes? How does a snake see in the dark? These and hundreds of other questions about animals, are answered in this beautifully designed encyclopedia. The young reader will learn more about familiar animals, as well as discovering some fascinating new ones. Extraordinary wildlife photography and illustrations bring the reader face-to-face with the marvels of the animal world.
