Explore the world's natural habitats and the plants and animals
that live there. From the depths of the ocean to soaring mountain
peaks - via coral reefs, deserts, rainforests, and even cityscapes
- discover how unexpected and unique wildlife partnerships make up
the habitats plants animals call home. Each habitat section starts
with a fascinating illustration to explain how it works, exploring
the unique combination of conditions, plants, and animals that make
it up. It then delves deeper, telling stories about how the
inhabitants interact and find their place in each habitat. Survival
strategies can be extreme, including frogs that can survive frozen
through winter to emerge unharmed in spring. Vying for resources,
plants and animals can work together in intimate partnerships,
engage in direct competition - fighting tooth and nail over
resources - or adapt in unique ways to find their own special niche
that only they can exploit. These intricately balanced systems
create a startling and fascinating variety of life on our planet.
Earth's pristine wildernesses are dwindling, so the book includes
national parks, wildlife reserves, and other protected areas, and
the conservation efforts needed to preserve our precious biological
diversity.
