Living Wild: Peacocks (Paperback)

Bright feathers flutter … Bold eyespots glow … Meet the peacock! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these colorful, majestic birds. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animals' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a Middle Eastern folktale about the peacock adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
