Overview
Migration is one of the most fascinating and dramatic of all animal behaviors. From insects and birds to reindeer and giant whales, many animals fly, swim, walk, and even hitchhike in search of better food, milder climate, or suitable mates. Some cross entire oceans; a few even circle the globe. These marathon journeys animals take are filled with great tests of physical strength and endurance-as well as danger and sometimes death. In Animal Migration, learn why animals are compelled to migrate, as well as the various patterns and cycles of their migrations.
Animal Behavior highlights the many amazing animal and insect adaptations found in nature. Oftentimes, particular behaviors evolve to help organisms obtain food, find mates, or protect themselves from predators. This full-color set will entertain and enlighten readers with striking examples of the everyday lives and habits of animals and insects as well as their unique feats.
