Above, Below and Long Ago

Animals, Plants and Fossils in Hidden Places

Illustrator: Emmerson, Jonathan

Beschreibung

Plants and animals thrive in unique places. The yellow-rumped leaf-eared mouse lives at the top of a volcano in South America, where plants can't grow. In Western Australia, a type of orchid grows deep underground. And long ago, trilobites slithered along the seafloor in oceans around the world. Discover hard-to-find species and the unusual places they call home.
