Sea Lions - Paperback

by Melissa Gish (Author)

Long whiskers wiggle ... Flippers clap and splash ... Meet the sea lion! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Sea Lions treats middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of this marvelous marine mammal. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, ocean habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animal's relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while an ancient Ainu tale about the sea lion adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
