What is Surviving : How Animals Adapt to Their Environments about?

<p><b>A kaleidoscope of magnificent photographs details the astonishing diversity of evolutionary adaptation among animales and plants.</b></p> <p>Several million species inhabit the earth, survivors of more than three billion years of evolution. The plants and animals that have avoided extinction have had to adapt to a variety of harsh conditions.</p> <p>Packed with sumptuous photographs, <i><b>Surviving</b></i> presents the most striking examples of these incredible artists of survival, including:</p> <ul> <li>The crab spider, which changes color to hide from its prey.</li> <li>The gecko that clings to a vertical rock with feet that have developed tiny suction cups.</li> <li>Emperor penguins, which work shifts with their mate, cradling their precious egg between their legs to protect it from the bitter Antarctic cold.</li> <li>The Portuguese man of war that drifts harmlessly on the waves until it is attacked, whereupon the sting from its tentacles paralyzes the attacker.</li> </ul> <p><i><b>Surviving</b></i> provides fascinating explanations of how species have adapted to survive the challenges and complexities of an ever-changing ecosystem.</p>
