Elementary students who love red wolves
will enjoy this new title. Beautifully
illustrated with glossy
color photographs and illustrations, it will provide students
with a
better understanding of these amazing mammals.
Organized and written in five easy-to-comprehend chapters, it will acquaint readers
with these beautiful rare breed animals.
Students learn many different things about red wolves including their
physical characteristics, diet, habits, habitats, and where they can be
found. The author touches upon what
they hunt, how they survive, and how
these powerful predators are becoming endangered. Students learn how red wolves live in groups
called packs within home ranges or territories, along with information about
their mating and how they communicate with each other. Since red wolves are carnivores, their diet is
primarily meat, but they also eat berries and insects. The author touches upon conservation
groups and captive breeding programs to help save red wolves from extinction.
The title includes beautiful color photographs, a fact file on the red wolf, interesting fun-fact boxes, words to know, a habitat map, recommended books and web sites, and a comprehensive index.
