Description
The secret world of nocturnal wildlife is seldom observed, even by the
keenest of nature enthusiasts.This unique book offers a window into the
lives of little-known and studied creatures and their remarkable behaviour
and adaptations in order to optimise their ability to go about their
business in the hours of darkness. Nocturnal creatures from around the
world are covered by the series of stunning images, and these include
flying squirrels, sugar gliders, skunks, foxes, cats (including Ocelot and
Jaguar), raccoons, owls, bushbabies, genets, bats, frogs, toads,
salamanders, snakes, geckos, spiders and a variety of insects. Extended
captions explain interesting facts about the creatures and behaviours
shown, and also give advice on photography.
