From Aardvark to Zebra – Peter Joyce

Description

From Aardvark to Zebra – Peter Joyce

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 our mammals, birds, insects, reptiles and also plants have adapted in unusual and often, in our eyes, strange ways to the demands of their environments.

Written in 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 behaviour 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 more.
