  Even the most extream environments provide a niche where some wild animals can survive and even thrive. This book is a dramatic visual introduction to some of the extraordinary animals that share our planet. It explains how animals have adapted to suit their climate and environment, whether grasslands or woodlands, fresh water or salt water. The text also looks at some of the exceptional animals who have pushed back the boundaries of their range - from spiders that hunt under water to horses in the dessert. The text focuses on 14 orders of animal, from butterflies to sharks, giving an animal's eye view of life on Earth, and includes over 180 colour photographs. Myth panels are also included in this text, which introduce folk tales and legends about animals. This book can be used as a supplement to National Curriculum Key Stage 2 school studies.
