Publisher's Synopsis
The Arctic is the land of extremes, be they temperatures, life spans, or degrees of strength. In the realm of mammals, there are giants like Bowhead Whales and Polar Bears, and tiny yet essential rodents like lemmings, which feed iconic birds like Snowy Owls. Across vast stretches of tundra, alpine meadows, and seemingly endless expanses of sea ice, life remarkably abounds. Dwarf wildflowers cling to life on windswept hummocks, growing among lichens, which are fed on by Caribou. The beautifully illustrated collection Arctic Wildlife features 140 common and familiar species and gives you a glimpse into their fascinating lives. Laminated for durability, this pocket folding guide is the ideal portable companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and trekkers who want to forge a deeper connection with the hardy species of Arctic land and seascapes. Made in the USA.
