Ages 6 to 12 years. There are only three species of manatees on Earth, and all three species are at risk. These gentle marine mammals live in warm, shallow lagoons and coastal waters where fast-moving boats, water pollution, and cold weather pose a constant threat. Beautiful images of these appealing animals help readers learn about: manatee bodies and behaviours; the habitats in which manatees live around the world; how red tides further endanger manatees; what is being done to save them.
Ages 6 to 12 years. Recognised for their spotted coats, leopards are beautiful and muscular cats. Unfortunately, leopards are in danger of becoming extinct! The stunning photography in Endangered Leopards shows these animals in their natural habitats, and reveals: their superior hunting skills; what they eat; how mothers care for their cubs; how people are trying to protect leopards in nature preserves.
