Description

A thrilling face-to-face encounter with the intimate lives, elaborate displays and extraordinary behaviour of animals in their own environment Internationally renowned zoologist and presenter of TV�s Animal Planet, Charlotte Uhlenbroek, leads a compelling study that brings the animal kingdom to vivid life. Illustrated with astonishing wildlife photography and action sequences, every aspect of animal life and behaviour is explored and explained � from courtship rituals and birth to hunting and death. Mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates � thousands of all kinds are featured. How the animal kingdom is organized, and how animals� bodies function are all explained, while outstanding action sequences bring key behavioural traits to life and critical conservation issues are also considered. From the fleeting life of a mayfly to the 10-year courtship of the manikin, this is the animal kingdom laid bare in all its awe-inspiring glory and detail.
