From Aardvark to Zebra: Secrets of African Wildlife - Softcover
"From Aardvark to Zebra: Secrets of African Wildlife" is a dictionary of discovery that illuminates the more fascinating wildlife inhabitants of the region. Many of Africa's mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, and even plants have adapted in unusual and often, in our eyes, strange ways to the demands of their environments. Written in an appealing and easy-to-read fashion, the book provides an intriguing glimpse at the wonders of the wild, describing the fierce family loyalties of the elephant; the all too human behavior of the baboon; the dolphin's intelligence, its "language" and its friendship with man; animals and birds that use tools; plants that have evolved ingenious, sometimes bizarre mechanisms for survival and much, much more. Written in the form of 120 brief entries for each animal and plant, and illustrated with charming black and white drawings. Sure to interest every member of the family!
