Illustrated throughout with 200 outstanding colour photographs,
Endangered Animals presents an in-depth look at around 100 species
of animal from around the world, all of which are currently
endangered or threatened according to the annual list drawn up by
the World Conservation Union (IUCN). The selection spans a broad
spectrum of wildlife, from large, charismatic mammals such as the
Bengal tiger to lesser-known species such as New Zealand's kakapo,
the world's only flightless parrot, which was once presumed to be
extinct. Each continent is covered, with examples carefully drawn
from every habitat - from the mysterious aye-aye of Madagascar's
shrinking rainforest, to the shy spectacled bear of the high Andes.
Arranged geographically, each photographic entry is supported by a
fascinating caption, which explains the animal's current plight and
whether it is critically endangered or classified as vulnerable.
From the Ethiopian wolf to the Bengal tiger to monk seal and
dugong, Endangered Animals is a fascinating introduction to some of
the most threatened species on the planet.
