One plump animal that can is the weddell seal. This unique creature lives farther south than any other mammal. How does it survive? Biologist Terrie Williams has spent the last 25 years making trips to Antarctica to find out. In Weddell Seal: Fat and Happy, kids follow Williams as she studies how this amazing, uncommon animal weathers the most extreme conditions. Large, full-color photos and a narrative text will keep readers turning the pages for more. |
