Publisher's Synopsis
Muscled legs gallop ... Tousled mane flies ... Meet the wild horse! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these majestic plains-roaming mammals. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the endangered animals' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a Blackfoot Indian tale about the wild horse adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
