What is a bird? Which anatomical traits are unique to birds? And where do birds fit in the diversity of life on Earth? This new guide is a portable companion to the beauty and diversity of birdlife around the world. Each chapter focuses on a topic such as digestion, reproduction or bird behaviour and includes detailed illustrations of skeletons and muscles, etc. to illustrate how birds' anatomical adaptations enable them to fly, run or swim. Special-feature spreads are included throughout providing further analysis on topics such as camouflage, wing shapes and courtship rituals. And there are plenty of facts for inquisitive minds, such as birds with unusual feet or what happens when a bird gets wet.
