Animals. An Encyclopedia of Nature's Wonders. Printed book.

In the twilight of dense forests and the azure depths of the oceans dwell amazing creatures whose stories began millions of years ago. The gharial, a contemporary of the dinosaurs, glides silently through the waters of Indian rivers; the vibrant red-eyed tree frog deceives predators with a ghostly masquerade; the wise green sea turtle, guided by an internal compass, undertakes great migrations; and the mysterious okapi, like a ghost from the past, dissolves into the shadows of the Congolese jungles...
This book tells how the peacock became a symbol of immortality and the dolphin a guardian of seafarers. You will hear the quiet step of the brown bear, the "master of the taiga," and witness the magical dance of the blue-footed booby; you will learn why leopard spots are called "spirit prints" and why the woodpecker's tapping is compared to the heartbeat of the forest itself.

This edition is more than just stories about animals. It is a reminder that we live in a world full of wonders, where every creature has its own mission and its own magic. It is an invitation to look closely and see how the wisdom of our planet is reflected in the natural world.
