Summary

This book is a dramatic visual introduction to how different animals are distributed around the world, and the incredible ways in which they have adapted to their surroundings. You will discover beetles that hunt under water, horses that survive in the desert, and birds and wolves that have both evolved long legs as a solution to hunting in tropical grassland. The consultant, Michael Chinery, is a respected writer on natural-history topics. In the Amazing Animals series, he focuses on the adaptations and behaviors that have allowed animals to thrive in their different environments. Book jacket.
