The World’s Amazing Wildlife

Earth is home to an amazingly diverse range of wildlife that inhabits all but the most extreme environments. No animal can be understood or appreciated in isolation, for each is inextricably linked to the environment of which it is part, and the plants and other animals among which it lives. Hunter and hunted, predator and prey, diurnal and nocturnal, tree dwelling and subterranean, terrestrial and aquatic – all are superbly adapted to survive and thrive.

This stunning full colour book provides information, photographs and illustrations on the various different habitats around the world with an introduction to each habitat, a regional map, conservation status, feature boxes portraying wildlife in that habitat, and individual species maps showing their range within the region.

There is also a comprehensive reference section with abbreviated fact files on many species .
