The struggle for wild animals to live in urban areas plays out tragically in this children's animal book. How do wild animals survive in the middle of the city? In the far south, a puma family lived near skyscrapers, an urban environment. When the mother puma tries to steal a chicken to feed her cubs, an angry farmer captures her, and she dies. Now, the search if on for her orphaned cubs. Will the scientists be able to find the cubs before their time runs out?
Woven into the story is the developing science of creating wildlife corridors to manage human and wild animal encounters. Scientists are studying how to connect wild areas to allow for animals to travel and to connect with others of their species.
This heartwarming children's animal book explains the dangers of trying to trap wild animals. Read to learn how the orphaned cub survives.
In this Biography in Text and Art, Harvill took original photos as references to create accurate wildlife illustrations. These aren't generic cats, but one particular individual in detail. Pattison's careful research, vetted by scientists in the field, brings to life this this true story of an infant cub that must face a complicated world alone-and find a way to survive.
ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY ANIMAL SERIESBird. Mammal. Marine Mammal. Spider. Amphibian. Reptile. Mollusk.
This series includes the story of the oldest bird in the world, a spider in space, an orphaned puma cub, a bullfrog with a world-record leap, the poignant story of saving a species from extinction, and the dolphin who inspired a government to protect him.
The series is much more than just an introduction to the animal kingdom. It chronicles the story of how humans interact with animals in various ways: how we enjoy, challenge, admire, endanger, and save them. It's a fabulous series for kids to learn about the amazing complexity of animals.
