Description
Big ears flap … Raised trunk trumpets … Meet the elephant! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Elephants treats middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of this marvelous mammal of Africa and Asia. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animal’s relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while an Indian folk tale about a white elephant adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
