Animal Survival Discovery

Discover the extraordinary ways 40 animals survive.

Why does a panda have a "false thumb"? What does a camel really store in its hump? How does a humpback whale filter food from seawater?

Animal Survival Discovery invites kids ages 7-10 to investigate these questions through detailed illustrations and educational infographics. Each animal has a two-page profile that connects the features of its body with the challenges of finding food, moving, staying safe, and living in its habitat.

Inside, young readers can:

• Explore a world of wildlife. Meet polar bears, tree frogs, elephants, sea turtles, butterflies, owls, and more across eight themed sections.

• See how animal bodies work. Follow labeled close-ups and visual sequences that explain what special features do and why they matter.

• Make sense of science. Discover adaptations, camouflage, food chains, and life cycles through clear explanations and size comparisons.

• Practice thinking like a scientist. Look closely, compare details, and try questions with answers that explain the reasoning.

• Keep discovering. Explore a 12-question quiz, three nature activities, an illustrated glossary, and an alphabetical animal index.

The large 8.5 × 11-inch format gives curious readers room to explore the details. Browse a favorite animal, read together, or use a profile to start a conversation during elementary science or homeschool nature study.

A thoughtful gift for animal lovers who want to understand how the natural world works.

Open to a favorite creature and discover the science behind its survival.
