Book Description

February 1992 6 and upEndangered Animals (Crabtree Paperback)
Dave Taylor's exciting Endangered Animals Series explains why some species have become extinct and what is being done to protect the animals currently threatened. Divided by habitat, each book features approximately ten animals describing:
-- their behavior
-- how they live
-- how they have adapted to their climate
-- why various habitats are essential to the earth
-- why the destruction of these ecosystems is so disastrous to the wildlife that inhabit them

The wild herds that live in the grassland areas of the world continue to dwindle as the human population encroaches and poachers continue to capture and kill them. Animals include:
-- white rhinoceros
-- pronghorn
-- bison of North America
-- prairie dog
-- kangaroo
-- cheetah
-- red wolf
-- burrowing owl


Editorial Reviews

Review

The attractive layout with an easy-to-read vocabulary level makes these book appealing to a wide audience. The interesting informative text with the accompanying glossary and index adds to the usefulness of these books as school research resources -- CM, Sept. 1993

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

Taken from Chapter 8: The cheetah Captive cheetahs In the past, cheetahs were killed for their beautiful spotted fur, which was made into coats. Today, few wild cheetahs are hunted, but their chances of survival are, nevertheless, not good. They are losing their habitats to farms and cities and facing the danger of extinction. Even their chance of survival in zoos is not good. Most wild cats are able to adapt to life in captivity, but cheetahs do not breed well in zoos.
