Some of the habitats designed by animals to defend themselves,
their families and their society, are absolutely fascinating; many
are well known, but at the same time they are hidden from us and
difficult to interpret. We know that ants and termites build
complicated underground tunnels, that bees in their hives create
precise and impeccable geometric structures, that mammals like
beavers design ingenious and unique solutions to protect the
entrance to their dens, but all these structures hide unexpected
and interesting secrets. By investigating and clearly showing them,
this book explains and highlights, as never before, the genius of
certain animals. The clear and colourful illustrations by Giulia de
Amicis, combined with the scientifically and didactically accurate
texts, suited to young readers, lead us on a unique journey to see
for ourselves the hidden lives of animals.
