DESCRIPTION:
An excellent book, built on an ever-fascinating subject and illuminating both animal classification and the evolution of language. Audubon Society illustrator Shetterly provides strikingly vigorous pen drawings, clarifying the differences and zooming in on some anatomical details. All rights reserved.. Bibliography; index. The approach is laudably scientific, with sizes and common and Latin names in the text (the latter are also summarized in a glossary); Lacey also supplies enough other intriguing facts to give a good sense of each animal. From Kirkus Reviews Is it cougar or puma, bison or buffalo, octopus or squid? Counting the big cats, which (unlike the others) are the same species, Lacey presents eight groups of animals whose names are often confused or misapplied, explaining exactly how they differ and citing many specifics--conformation, habits, habit
The author of The Complete Frog takes a close-up look at seven pairs of animal look-alikes--including rabbits and hares, and alligators and crocodiles--and their habitats, behavior, anatomy, and relationship with other animals and the environment.
