Description
Get an inside look at how animals are classified and why it matters. This engaging explanation of animal classification is produced in partnership with the Natural History Museum, helping to put your animals in order.
From whales to worms and snakes to stinkbugs, every creature ever discovered has been identified and added to a group within the animal kingdom. Scientists use this classification system to help them research, discover and save species. This book showcases the amazingly diverse range of animals found around the world and the different features that help determine their place in the animal kingdom.
Discover how classification helps scientists conserve animals and their habitats, and learn about some fascinating 'odd-one-outs' along the way, such as egg-laying mammals and fish that climb trees. The book also includes a helpful timeline of key people and places that have influenced the study of animals.
