What Is a Top Predator? (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780778727729)

This informative and beautiful book looks at apex, or top, predators - animals that are not eaten by other animals in their habitats - and why these animals play a very important role in keeping food chains in balance. Students are introduced to the energy pyramid, which shows that there are fewer top predators than other animals and gives reasons why many of these animals are endangered. Humans, the most powerful top predators, are the biggest threat to these essential endangered animals. Teacher's guide available.
