animal behavior

"This book welcomes us into a previously unfathomable dimension--the world as it is truly perceived by other animals. We encounter beetles that are drawn to fires (and fireworks), songbirds that can see the Earth's magnetic fields, and brainless jellyfish that nonetheless have complex eyes. . . . We meet people with unusual senses, from women who can make out extra colors to blind individuals who can navigate using reflected echoes like bats. Yong tells the stories of pivotal discoveries in the field, and also looks ahead at the many mysteries which lie unsolved"--Provided by publisher.

Hibernation is a fascinating animal adaptation. While the behavior is commonly recognized, many don't know exactly what's happening in the animal's body to cause hibernation.

They'll also find out how the animals prepare for the long rest and what happens to them after hibernation. The main concepts-supportive of the elementary science curriculum-are reinforced by carefully chosen images of animals in the wild.
