Glossary.
Summary:
In January in the Scottish Highlands, a mountain hare is camouflaged from predators in its white winter coat, while in New Guinea, a bright-green tree python guards her eggs. Come March, a warm Arctic spring lures polar bears out from their den, while in Australia, newly hatched crocodiles go for their first swim inside their mothers jaws. When autumn comes to the north, monarch butterflies start migrating south, just as bar-tailed godwits set off from New Zealand to their breeding grounds on the Alaskan tundra. In a remarkable exploration of
animals
lives, Sandra Morriss informative text and beautiful illustrations take readers through the months of the year in both the
northern
and southern parts of the globe, with an eye to how various species adapt to the changing seasons. Extensive end matter offers further descriptive facts about some twenty-five featured
animals
. Get a fascinating global view of how the animal world adapts to the seasons with this simultaneous look at both
Northern
and Southern Hemispheres.
