M. J. Knight - Author
A focused introduction to desert wildlife, showing how different animals’ bodies and behaviours help them manage a harsh, dry environment.
Take a journey through dry deserts and discover some of the strange mammals, reptiles and insects that survive in these tough habitats. Huge ears, crafty camouflage and acrobatic abilities are just some of the special features these creatures have to help them hunt for food and stay alive. All these animals have bodies that are adapted to this unique habitat. What Animals Live Here? is a series of four books that explore Earth's most interesting biomes and some of the animals that live there. Readers will encounter some familiar and some strange mammals, fish, reptiles, birds, insects and other invertebrates and learn about some of their incredible adaptations that mean they can survive in these environments.

This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
