Endangered animals
(Book - Regular Print)

Arranged by continent, the author discusses the animals' habitat and their current plight. The selection spans a broad spectrum of wildlife, from large charismatic mammals such as the Bengal tiger of South Asia and the black rhinoceros of the African savannah, to lesser-known species, such as Prsewalski's horse, which was once presumed to be extinct but was reintroduced to the Mongolian steppe, and the imperial amazon parrot, of which only 50 remain on the Caribbean island of Dominica. Introducing more than 100 species, Endangered animals is a pictorial introduction to many of the most threatened creatures on our planet today.
