DK Guide to Mammals

The DK Guide to Mammals is a remarkable and eye-opening exploration of the world of mammals – their habitats, behaviour, anatomy, intelligence, and much more. Breathtaking close-up photography and graphic illustrations reveal both the wild drama and the hidden details that make up the lives of these fascinating creatures, while larger, wide-angle scenes draw the reader into their natural environments. Meet the biggest and loudest creature on planet Earth, the blue whale, and read about its incredible 6-tonne diet. Learn how to translate the facial expressions and the complex communicative gestures of a chimpanzee. Witness a leopard killing its prey and see how it stores its catch high up in trees, safe from scavenging hyenas and jackals. Dramatic photographs, together with special digital images and artworks, create an awe-inspiring insight into the world of the creatures in this highly diverse and spectacular animal group.
