About the book: 2012 / The fauna of the Earth is many-sided and diverse. And this is not surprising, given how different living conditions are on our planet. Animals have adapted to the depths of the ocean and high mountains, to areas of eternal ice, deserts and humid tropics. On land and in the waters of the oceans, you cannot find a corner that is not inhabited by living organisms. Furry, feathered, with and without a shell, winged, bipedal, quadrupedal, flying, swimming and crawling creatures... Animals are very diverse in size. Among them there are real giants and very tiny pygmies. The next book in the series tells about the most amazing records of the animal world. The reader will learn about the tallest and smallest animals, about record holders in conquering heights and in long and high jumps, about the most cold-resistant and most poisonous organisms, as well as about the most original methods of reproduction of protozoa, mollusks, insects, reptiles, birds and much more..
