Description
Wide wings stretch ... Hooked beak tears ... Meet the vulture! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Vultures treats middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these big birds of prey. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the scavenging raptors' relationships with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a vulture myth from the Cherokee people adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
