  This book is an animal encyclopaedia that looks at animals in relation to the different habitats in which they live, whether it be leafy forest, wind-blown grassland, the depths of the sea or sun-scorched desert. The book highlights typical lifestyles, movements, and feeding habits of animals that live in nine major habitats, from polar bears that live in the Arctic to alligators in swamps. Detailed illustrations and an informative text depict the animals found in each of the world's major regions. The book tells how the animals rear their young and provides information on the distribution, size and scientific name of each animal.
