Review:
Beautifully illustrated with stunning, full-color photographs on every page Animals Alive: The Fight for Survival in the Wild introduces young adults to the difficult and dangerous natural world that animals must face every day in their battle to survive. Chapters describe the many threats that menace endangered species today (many of which are instigated or exacerbated by humans): habitat loss, climate change, hunting, dwindling food supplies, pollution, disease, and natural hazards. From the feisty Tasmanian devil to the brilliant golden toad to the captivating jaguar and more, Animals Alive superbly showcases the rigors that wildlife must face and is highly recommended for young nature lovers and public library collections.
