Forest creatures

Bobcats may look more like house cats than a tiger or lion, but they are much fiercer than an ordinary pet. Their shy nature means they are rarely a threat to humans. In fact, they generally avoid humans so completely that it is rare to see one at all. This lack of firsthand observation means people tend to know very little about these beautiful and independent animals. Through engaging main text, augmented with informative fact boxes and full-color photographs, readers learn about the bobcat's behavioral patterns, diet, habitat, and more.

In wild boars' native habitats of Eurasia and North Africa, they play important ecological roles. Their activity in the forest creates habitats for other creatures and spreads seeds to other locations, promoting biodiversity. Sadly, as an invasive species in the Americas, they often do more harm than good. This volume examines the ways wild boars affect the environment around them. Through the engaging main text, enhanced with full-color photographs and a detailed graphic organizer, readers learn about these intelligent animals' behavior, habitat, diet, and more.
