Gr 6-10 Unlike QEBs Awesome Animals and Enslows Rainbow of Animals, which both present facts and features on creatures according to species or color, this set explains those facts and features within the context of behavior. The detailed information is well organized and offers examples of how nature maintains its own balance, such as explaining how some predators are able to break down the defenses of their prey, despite how clever the author just made those defenses sound. Color photographs appear throughout. Solid resources for reports.
Bibliography Index/Note:
Includes bibliographical references (page 100) and index.
All animals have to eat, but feeding behavior goes far beyond predators and prey. Animals have a variety of ways to find food. Some sit and wait for food to come to them. Others chase or trap their food. Other animals are scavengers and decomposers, breaking down the leftovers of other animals' meals.Animal Hunting and Feedingexplains these various techniques as well as the importance of food chains and food webs.
