The focus of the renowned Soviet biologist Igor Akimushkin is the study of animal behavior and psychology, as well as pressing issues concerning the development, conservation, and study of the animal kingdom. He discusses these serious topics in this book in a lively and engaging manner, revealing the magnificent world of animals to readers and teaching them to appreciate its diversity. The established term "young naturalist" is only forgotten today at a first, superficial glance. Children, with their inquisitiveness and curiosity, will never cease to be interested in everything that surrounds them, including the animal world. This book will help them learn more about it and answer many, many questions. You will find out which animals blink only once a year, which can go without food for months, which drink seawater without any harm to their health, why it is important for animals to play with each other, how animals and birds treat their own illnesses, which animals are the most neglectful parents, whether it is true that swifts can sleep while flying, and whether elephants and chimpanzees dream.
