SuitabookCougars and Other Animals That Ambush Prey
Vic Kovacs
- Reading
- Browse the contents together and choose one animal that interests you. Pause at photographs that prompt questions, then use the glossary or index to follow up on unfamiliar terms or topics.
- Themes
- Ambush hunting as animal behaviour: The book surveys ambush hunters including cougars, leopard seals, crocodiles, praying mantises and other animals, with attention to habitat, social structure and anatomy. The stated approach is informational, connecting hunting behaviour with features of animals and their environments; no wider judgement about predation is established.
- Worth knowing
- Ambush hunting is presented through hungry predators and prey; contents include animals that kill or eat other animals. Consider how animal photographs might land with your reader.
