What's better than a wildlife book from acclaimed naturalist Jim Arnosky? Three Jim Arnosky Wildlife books... in one volume! A compilation of Wild Tracks, Slither and Crawl, and Thunder Birds, this book is filled with hundreds of detailed illustrations of cirtters to marvel at. Whose paw prints are those? What's hiding in the reeds? What's flying overhead? You'll know once you've opened the giant fold-out pages to see illustrations of life-size animal tracks, incredible reptiles, and magnificent birds. Arnosky will bring out your inner explorer as he explains everything you ever wanted to know about determining how fresh track are, which animal made them, and how fast they might have been traveling. You'll learn how to identify venomous snakes and their non-venomous cousins, where to find a 200-pound lizard, how to avoid becoming an alligator's lunch, and much more. And you'll discover why there are no feathers on a vulture's head, which bird is the deep-diving champ, and what makes an owl's wings perfectly silent in flight. Bring the wildeness right into your room- or use this book as a guide on your next field trip to a zoo!
