Visions d’animaux, by Christian Staebler, and several illustrators

Did you know that sloths live in symbiosis with algae? That field crickets’ eardrums are located in their shins? And that scallops have 200 eyes? In Animal Visions, we meet dozens of animals, some well known, others much more mysterious. We learn lots of surprising information with detailed fact sheets illustrated by more than twenty illustrators! In addition to the animal portraits, the author helps us understand the major scientific principles of life on Earth, the evolution of species, and their relationships with each other and their environment. This comprehensive scientific documentary book is accessible at different reading levels. Readers can glean unusual information and explore more general questions about intelligence, domestication, the importance of soil, and environmental protection. A glossary and index accompany the book. This title provides keys to understanding the Earth and the living beings around us.
