Other editions of book Lions and Other Mammals

Animals adapt to their habitats in amazing ways, foraging for food, using camouflage, defending themselves against predators. Each title in this series focuses on the adaptations found in one representative animal from each species, while looking at how similar animals in the group have adapted in different ways. Less successful adaptations are also covered, including animals that have become extinct or endangered by changes to their environment. Features include Concept Boxes explaining scientific concepts like evolution, intelligent design, and competition.

Lions are among the most awesome predators in the world, but how have they, and other mammals, adapted to become so successful? The series explores how some of our favorite animals are uniquely adapted to their environment. Each book looks at the various ways in which different species have adapted to their surroundings and covers habitat, defenses, camouflage, and the way animals find food.
