From the polar bear that endures icy temperatures of -40 degrees Fahrenheit during the arctic winter to the kangaroo that lives in areas with less than 10 inches of rainfall a year, this engaging book describes and illustrates almost every kind of habitat where animals flourish.

In a clear and concise style, each entry describes the habitat characteristic of each animal and how it copes with ecological factors such as shrinking natural surroundings, seasonal migration, and competition for feeding grounds. Vivid colour photographs place the animals in their natural environment while at the same time show an aspect of their behavioral habits.
