Wildlife in the City

Wildlife plays a vital role in urban ecosystems. This unique series investigates the wild and semi-wild animals that live among and around us. They live in our parks, backyards, woodlands, and on the edges of human spaces. Some even invade our homes. Special illustrated spreads focus on the specific anatomy, adaptations, and skills of key species, as well as the threats to their existence. Readers will also learn how biologists study urban animals and how cities deal with animal control. Free downloadable Teacher's Guide available.
