Description

Forests cover a large amount of our planet and are known as the 'lungs' that provide us the oxygen that we breathe. Moreover, forests also provide vital habitats for animals, regardless of what kind of forest it is - the humid tropical jungle or the harsh boundless taiga, which stretches in the northern regions of Russia and Canada. In Forest Animals discover the many types of reptiles and rainforest animals popular across the world, from the smoky jungle frog, Costa Rica's largest frog species, to the rare Sumatran tiger, critically endangered due to deforestation of their home. Learn about a variety of animals from around the world: the tree kangaroo of Australia, the brown fish owl of Turkey and southeast Asia, the green oak tortix of Europe, commonly found in the UK and the black panther (leopard and jaguar variant) in tropical forests from Kenya to Thailand. Featuring detailed captions explaining the origins, habitat and behaviour of each fascinating species featured, Forest Animals is a vibrant photographic collection of tree-loving animals in over 200 dazzling images.
