Description:
Animal Life Cycles describes and illustrates the various, and sometimes unique, ways in which mammals raise their young and live their lives. More than seventy types of mammals are represented -- from the chimpanzee, which does not gain its independence until the age of seven or eight -- to the hamster, which is already fending for itself after only two months. Other animals profiled include African wild dogs, antelopes, badgers, chimpanzees, otters, platypuses, shrews, wild cattle, and much more.
