Animal Instincts

4 books in this series

Follows the life cycle of one animal from birth to finding a mate and old age, exploring how it grows, learns, plays, fights, looks for food, protects itself from predators and makes a home.
'In the know' feature panels explain what scientists know about the behaviour and biology of animals.
A spread on conservation looks at how endangered the animal species is, what measures are being taken to protect it, and how the reader can contribute to conservation.
