The Nature Kid's Guide to Hyenas: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Hyenas! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898182113)

There's way more to hyenas than their famous laugh. These misunderstood hunters kill 95% of their own food, can crush bones that lions can't touch, run 37 miles per hour without tiring, and are led entirely by females who outrank every male in the clan.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Hyenas" is written for curious kids ages 7 to 12 who want to know what really makes these animals so extraordinary. How can hyenas digest bones, horns, and hooves that no other animal can eat? Why does a hyena's famous laugh actually mean it's nervous? And how does a clan of just six hyenas chase away an entire lion pride?

Short sentences and jaw-dropping facts fill every page. Your child will discover that hyenas can smell a meal from two miles away, recognize over 100 clan members by scent alone, and heal from serious wounds faster than almost any other mammal. They'll learn how cubs are born with the same social rank as their mother, how the boss female makes every decision for a clan of up to 80 hyenas, and how hyenas take turns at the front of a chase so nobody gets too tired.

A book for every kid who suspects hyenas are way cooler than they get credit for.

Powerful jaws, unstoppable stamina, and a whole book full of wild facts your child will want to share.
