Endangered Grassland Animals (Endangered Animals) - Tapa blanda

Describes the characteristics and importance of grasslands, examines the plight of ten endangered animals that inhabit grasslands, and explores what is being done to protect them.

Dave Taylor's exciting Endangered Animals Series explains why some species have become extinct and what is being done to protect the animals currently threatened. Divided by habitat, each book features approximately ten animals describing:
-- their behavior
-- how they live
-- how they have adapted to their climate
-- why various habitats are essential to the earth
-- why the destruction of these ecosystems is so disastrous to the wildlife that inhabit them

The wild herds that live in the grassland areas of the world continue to dwindle as the human population encroaches and poachers continue to capture and kill them. Animals include:
-- white rhinoceros
-- pronghorn
-- bison of North America
-- prairie dog
-- kangaroo
-- cheetah
-- red wolf
-- burrowing owl
