Endangered Wetland Animals (Endangered Animals)

Describes the characteristics and importance of wetlands, examines the plight of ten endangered animals that inhabit wetlands, and explores what is being done to protect them.

Dave Taylor's exciting Endangered Animals Series explains why some species have become extinct and what is being done to protect the animals currently threatened. Divided by habitat, each book features approximately ten animals describing:
-- their behavior
-- how they live
-- how they have adapted to their climate
-- why various habitats are essential to the earth
-- why the destruction of these ecosystems is so disastrous to the wildlife that inhabit them

Pollution and waste threaten the continued existence of wetland habitats around the world endangering hundreds of species of reptiles, mammals, and birds. Animals include:
-- great egret
-- white pelican
-- massasauga rattlesnake
-- hippopotamus
-- Nile crocodile
-- Indian rhino
-- alligator
-- osprey
