From a whale's enormous heart and an owl's sensitive ears, to a tortoise's tough shell and an insect's unusual eyes, explore more than 40 animal adaptations in close detail. Vivid photography combined with annotated illustrations reveal what each species looks like inside, and colorful diagrams help support children's understanding of animal anatomy.
