No one engages the natural world the way Jeff Corwin does.
One of America's favorite nature show hosts, Corwin delivers
awe and respect for the natural world to a broad audience in
a way that is both wildly funny and educational. This
beautifully illustrated book captures the adventurous and
educational spirit that fans expect while exploring the
fantastic relationships among the rare wildlife in four
exotic ecosys-tems: -The Pantanal, a wetland in Brazil that
supports rare aquatic plants and unique underwater
inhabitants such as electric eels, a rare species of
crocodiles, and birds that can literally walk on water -The
Sonoran Desert in Arizona, full of burrowing owls,
black-tailed jackrabbits, and the Southern desert horned
lizard, which elicits a squirt of blood when in danger from
a predator -The Costa Rican Tropical Rainforest, which hosts
the amazing poison-dart frogs, bromeliad crabs, and longest
of pit vipers, the Bushmaster -The East African Savannah of
Tanzania, where one finds the scavenger marabou stork and
the greater kudu, which become nocturnal feeders when
stalked by prey With Jeff Corwin as your guide, you will
witness the unique interde-pen-dence and competition among
these wonderfully bizarre creatures in a lavish book that
will entertain and educate readers of all ages.
