Exploring the World Of Wolves
Description
The wild, wary gray wolf.The largest wild member of the dog family, the gray
wolf stalks much larger mammals, such as the elk, caribou and moose. How does
it succeed? Built to run, the long-legged wolf on the hunt uses its powerful
sight, hearing, smell and physical strength. But, like the domestic dog, the
wolf is a social animal: it lives in a pack.In this fully illustrated
introduction, young readers will learn how group living makes sense for the
wolf, allowing it to form strong bonds and share tasks like rearing its young,
finding food and communicating over long distances. They’ll also find out how
habitat destruction, poisoning campaigns and hunting have reduced gray wolf
populations in much of North America.Full-color photographs provide close-ups
and action shots, while the engaging text, sidebars and captions tell the life
history of an animal that researchers agree has one of nature’s most engaging
personalities.Firefly Books’ Exploring the World of… nature series was
created for younger readers who are eager to learn more about the wild
creatures of North America. Each title contains beautiful photographs that
depict the animals in their natural habitats, while the highly readable text
explores their daily lives — where and how they make their homes, what they
eat, how they hunt, how they communicate and how they raise their young. Read
