| Summary |
"Everything about a sea lion's body developed to make it a better hunter. Its aerodynamic shape, strong flippers, and ability to close its nostrils to remain underwater longer all contribute to this deep-sea predator. What are they hunting for? A lobster dinner! With detailed examples and full-color photographs, this volume takes on an important curriculum concept--food chains--in an engaging, fun way. Readers discover some of the violent, strange, and extraordinary eating of animals in habitats all around the world"--Provided by the publisher. |
