Mammals

How does the star-nosed mole detect its prey? Which is the largest mammal on land? How do howler monkeys fight? Which mammal has a duck’s bill, an otter’s body and a beaver’s tail?Mammals is part of Discoveries, a dynamic new reference series for children. Atmospheric illustrations, strong photographs and lively text engage and encourage readers to discover for themselves the world around them. Titles from Natural History, Our World, Science and Technology and Our Past cover an exciting span of subjects: from the colour and splendour of Ancient Egypt to the intriguing world of Reptiles. A four-page foldout in each title reveals a dramatic, and perhaps unexpected, perspective.
