DK Wildlife of the World
This spectacular book, produced in association with the Smithsonian Institution, combines in-depth reference information with contemporary portrait-style photography that brings each continent's most iconic animals up-close for a global look at the world's wildlife that will appeal to animal and nature lovers.
Wildlife of the World takes readers on a journey through some of the most scenic and rich animal habitats--from the Amazon rain forests to the Himalayas, the Sahara to the South Pole--meeting the most important animals in each ecosystem along the way.
Truly spectacular portrait-style photography brings readers "face-to-face" with individual animals in up-close and engrossing profiles on how the animals interact with their environments, mate, survive, and even play.
From the shaggy musk ox foraging in the Canadian high arctic to the endangered Scottish wildcat prowling the Highlands to the rock-climbing gelada monkey of Ethiopia, each animal featured plays a key role in its environment. An additional eighty-page illustrated reference section on the animal kingdom explains the animal groups and profiles additional species.
