Offered in 0 more formatsAnimal Behavior looks at the fascinating activities of animals as they progress from birth to maturity-how they attract a mate and care for their young, find shelter and food, defend themselves, navigate sometimes vast distances and survive the many challenges of life.
Written by a team of international experts, this beautiful book is full of examples drawn from the activities of all types of animals-mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and insects. The relationships animals have with other animals-those on whom they depend, those whom they must repel-are a major element in their activities. More than a source of beauty and wonder, animals’ behavior is important to the earth’s ecological balance, and thus a key to the vitality of the planet.
Large color photographs and a nontechnical text explore how animals relate to their own kind and to other species. Courting rituals, hierarchy, foraging and storing, and migration are among the topics. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
