Epic Animal Journeys
Angebote / Angebote:
Migration is one of the great mysteries of the natural world. With no engines or GPS devices, birds fly thousands of miles to their African feeding grounds, salmon cross oceans so that they may return to the rivers in which they were born and monarch butterflies spend their entire adult lives traveling from the grasslands of the Midwest to the forests of Mexico.This book takes a close look at how and why different animals migrate. The science of migration is broken down into clearly understood texts, and then brought to life in case studies of individual species. Find out how the 'flappers' and the 'gliders' of the avian world differ in their migration approaches and routes. Explore the case of the puffin, who spends 10 months at sea, returning to land briefly to nest before setting off once more. Marvel at the journey of the tiny pipistrelle bat, who despite weighing only 7 grams, travels 2000 km across the North Sea to hibernate. These remarkable stories of epic journeys are complemented by beautiful packaging and vivid illustrations by Aquila illustrator, Ed Brown.
