The World of Baby Animals
BRYAN HODGSON

Who can resist a baby? They're winsome and charming, playful and daring, curious about everything around them and both shy and eager about joining in. Embarking on lifes great adventures is not always easy, and, like humán babies, baby animals in the wild must be guided, taught, and protected by adults of their species. From baby sea lions performing graceful maritime ballets with their elders to young elephants trekking alongside their parents from water hole to water hole, The World of Baby Animals presents a particularly fascinating look at the young learning to adapt to their environment.

The World of Baby Animals
BRYAN HODGSON

Who can resist a baby? They're winsome and charming, playful and daring, curious about everything around them and both shy and eager about joining in. Embarking on lifes great adventures is not always easy, and, like humán babies, baby animals in the wild must be guided, taught, and protected by adults of their species. From baby sea lions performing graceful maritime ballets with their elders to young elephants trekking alongside their parents from water hole to water hole, The World of Baby Animals presents a particularly fascinating look at the young learning to adapt to their environment.
Extraordinary full-color photographs from somé of the worlds finest wildlife photographers and lively, informative text bring to life the world of baby animals—and their mothers, fathers, and "exténded families.,, Yotril see mothers easing the initial uncertain moments of life as they affectionately hck clean unsteady newborns and guide them to the first source of sustenance in the "outer world," the mothers mammary glands. Youll learn why an American cougar locates not one but two dens before she gives birth, and why giraffes give birth standing up, even though a five-foot drop to the gro-und does not seem an ideál way to enter the world. The ability to make one's way as an independent creature comes at different ages for different animals, and The World of Baby Animals offers insights into why primate offspring may enjoy the undivided attention of their mothers for as long four years while baby mice are expected to fend for themselves by the age of three weeks or so.

Images of wolf cubs tussling, chimpanzees grooming one another, cheetah cubs chasing their own tails, and young Thompson s gazelles leaping joyfully on an African plain will bring a smile to your face and open your eyes to somé vitai lessons of growing up in the wild. Each of these activities prepares the young for survival as adults, from inculcating the rules of dominance within families or groups to honing hunting skills.
The remarkable tenacity of animal parents defen-ding their young from the forces of nature, the dangers of the wilderness, and the encroachment of man are poignantly apparent in this compelling look at family life in the wild. The World of Baby Animals makes it clear that affection, love, hope, and concern for the young are not confined only to the humán realm.
