Description
Introduction
5 major sections and 31 themes take you into the colorful world of birds, where you can discover many miracles and mysteries about birds and get interesting surprises beyond your imagination. Birds are excellent actors: Blue Jays can imitate the sounds of eagles to drive away other birds competing for food; Meadow Pipits will fly over your head in an exaggerated manner to lure you away from their nests.
Birds have more advanced intelligence than you can imagine: long before humans proposed the "sharing economy", social weaverbirds were already using "shared nests"; birds have built-in GPS functions, and they are naturally able to navigate using the position of the sun, moon and stars, as well as landmarks such as rivers and mountains;
Birds are the hidden kings of physical strength: Peregrine falcons are the fastest animals in the world, chasing prey at speeds of up to 390 km/h, faster than a Lamborghini; bar-tailed godwits can fly non-stop for up to nine days!
There are big differences between birds. How should they be classified? How do birds fly, talk to their companions, and find mates? As close neighbors of humans, about 20% of birds can live in cities. Therefore, it is very important for us to understand these amazing creatures. If your child is curious about birds, this book will answer all his questions.
DK of the UK has teamed up with David Lindor, winner of the Bloomer Medal of the Linnean Society of London, to open a door to bird science for children aged 7 and above - combining exquisite and accurate hand-painted illustrations with high-definition photographs, the knowledge points are clear and concise, and even "bird novices" with zero basic knowledge can easily start a bird-watching journey with this book.
There is a "Glossary" and "Chinese-English Vocabulary Comparison Table" at the back of the book, which can effectively enrich children's bilingual vocabulary and knowledge reserves.
