Product Description
PPolar bears live in the Arctic and alligators in swamps, but what about llamas and lemurs, pumas and koalas? Whether it be forest, grassland, desert, or sea, animals are adapted to living in different circumstances. This handsome encyclopedia highlights this fact as it features more than 300 creatures living in 9 of the earth's major habitats, and introduces them in full-color photographs and drawings. PPacked with animal facts and feats, this book explores the typical lifestyles, movements, methods of rearing young, feeding habits, predators, and prey of a wide variety of animals. Maps and diagrams show readers where each environment is located and describe its climate. The distribution, size, and scientific name of each animal are also provided.

Poorly organized; significant errors. July 2, 1999
18 out of 21 found this review helpful
Returned this book after purchase as I found the format confusing (animals grouped by habitat as opposed to geographic location - try explaining to a 2.5 yr old that he will never stumble across a duck-billed platypus in his back yard here in the U.S.). Also, a prominent photo of an elk bore a caption describing the moose pictured therein.
