Asia and Australia are places with rich animal and plant life. Animals here adapt to extreme climates and have developed some unique qualities to make them capable of surviving. This book features many fierce predators, including tigers, snakes, and crocodiles that call the northern and southern hemispheres home.
"In his latest illustrated exploration of the animal kingdom, Steve Jenkins introduces readers to some of the most powerful predators in history, from the Tyrannosaurus rex to the African lion."--.
Five vignettes, from dawn to midnight, present the dramatic dynamics of survival and competition in and around a typical North American pond, featuring such animals as a pickerel frog, water snake, and opossum.
Plenty of predators use their monstrous jaws and piercing claws to attack their prey, but many creatures wield these adaptations as defensive mechanisms, too. Readers may be surprised that an animal as cute as the red panda can fiercely protect itself from a snow leopard and that there's a kind of frog that can jab its version of a bony claw through its skin. Every animal needs to have some kind of weapon if they want to survive in a wild world. Illustrative photographs, fun fact boxes, and a concluding graphic organizer support and enhance this high-interest volume.
While Ho-Rang fights off swarms of escaped low-level Foxes, Myung-Ee and Sa-Euh form an uneasy alliance to go after Yu-Da, who has sided with the eerie Ha-Euh instead of either the Rabbits or the Foxes. Plus, Myung-Ee regains some of her memories and what she remembers will affect everyone involved.
