Mammals Mighty and Meek
Author: Katie Bagli
Publisher: Shree Book Centre
ISBN: 9395453869
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Isn’t it wonderful to know that ours is the only one of the eight planets in the solar system to have the kind of life that it has? And of this life, mammals appear to be the most evolved. Unlike the other groups of animals, mammals express emotions, can reason and many of them can even analyse situations. Mammals have been around on the planet for a long time. Fossil records have established that they were even there alongside the dinosaurs. Moreover, mammals are found everywhere—in burrows underground, flapping their way through the skies, in the oceans, in grasslands, swamps, mangroves, extremely high altitudes, deserts, forests—even at the poles. The species of mammals vary from habitat to habitat, but they all play an important role in the intricate web of life. Many of the mammal species face a threat to their existence, what with infrastructure development being given priority and their homes—the forests—shrinking! It is the need of the hour to get ourselves sensitized to these beautiful creatures that we share the planet with. This book, Mammals Mighty and Meek, is a small effort to celebrate mammals and to learn more about them through its quirky stories, fun poems and amusing skits, all woven around true facts. So do turn the pages, read and enjoy.
