AMAZING ANIMAL COMMUNICATORS

Book ID/图书代码： 02351214B75816

English Summary/英文概要： Some of the most complex engineering feats in the world have been accomplished not by humans, but by animals. To create a lodge that is safe from predators, a beaver family dams a stream; a lake forms and the beavers build their lodge in the lake, with an underwater entrance and living chambers above the waterline. This is advanced engineering, and the principle of damming waterways has, of course, since been copied by humans. There are many other examples of science being used by animals long before humans adopted similar procedures. The Animal Scientists books combine ecology with simple scientific principles so young readers can see how animals have adapted to cope better with their environment and how they relate to other animals.

The series explores animals’ use of science and engineering to overcome environmental challenges— escaping predators, dealing with extreme weather, the need to eat and breed etc. The books are beautifully illustrated with colour photographs and artworks and are clearly written. Boxes highlight the human scientific ‘discoveries’ that have been based on animals’ behavior.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 小朋友们，你们知道吗？在动物们给同伴发送危险信号、交流食物所在地、吸引异性抑或找寻乐趣的过程中，声音、视觉以及化学物质都在其中起着不可或缺的作用哦！体型庞大的蓝鲸可以在数百英里的海面上通过超声波交流；漫天繁星的夜晚里，萤火虫可以利用身体的光芒来寻觅自己心仪的异性；聪明的臭鼬可以从尾部释放出难闻的化学气体来让步步紧逼的攻击者落荒而逃！(Susie)
