Dave Taylor's exciting Endangered Animals Series explains why some species have become extinct and what is being done to protect the animals currently threatened. Divided by habitat, each book features approximately ten animals describing: -- their behavior-- how they live-- how they have adapted to their climate-- why various habitats are essential to the earth-- why the destruction of these ecosystems is so disastrous to the wildlife that inhabit themThe far-reaching effects of driftet fishing, illegal whaling, motorboats, and pollution from oil spills, garbage, and industrial waste endanger thousands of ocean species. Animals include: -- humpback whale-- brown pelican-- California sea lion-- shark-- elephant seal-- manatee-- dolphin-- southern sea otter
