Quills, Plates, and Spines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781538314869)

Some animals are equipped to survive in their native habitats with fascinating adaptations such as quills, plates, and spines. In this high-interest volume, budding zoologists will learn about these types of body coverings, which help creatures, including the echidna and the pangolin, stay alive in life-threatening situations. Photographs of animals in the wild reinforce key concepts about the importance of adaptations while fact boxes and captions add further need-to-know information.
