Did you know that...
opossums give birth to fifty tiny babies at once?
Baby elephants weight over 200 pounds at birth?
a newborn giraffe is as tall as a person?
Learn everything you ever wanted to know about exotic,
irresisible baby animals in this fascinating book -- filled with
full-color photographs.
Renowned science writer Seymour Simon takes on parenthood! In
lucid prose he describes how thirteen different wild animals raise
their young. Stunning photographs help place each animal in its
distinct habitat, from penguins in the Antarctic to kangaroos in
the outback. But whether it is an enormous polar bear fiercely
protecting her cubs, or a sleek alligator swimming away right after
her babies hatch, Seymour Simon shows us what is unique and
important about each animal.
