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.
