Animals: A Visual Guide to the Animal Kingdom

Embark on an incredible journey through the wondrous diversity, complexity and majesty of the animal kingdom. From leafy sea dragons and poison arrow frogs to birds of paradise
and snow leopards; from gharials and gorillas to wildebeest and walruses, Animals is a spectacular 'who's who' of the animal kingdom. Organized according to the scientific classification of animals, each page is packed with the latest research on the evolution, classification, behaviour, habitats and conservation status of hundreds of species. Over 360 superb images, taken by some of the world's best wildlife photographers, bring the animals to life in extraordinary detail - from everyday creatures that we take for granted to some of the most exotic, unusual and endangered animals that exist on the planet.
