Find out about the Robber Crab that climbs trees to collect coconuts, the mating dance of Seahorses that lasts for days and the three metre Komodo dragon that can hunt a water buffalo.

DK and Google bring a revolutionary guide to the Earth’s animal world. Discover amazing facts about over a thousand species, marvel at stunning closeup photography and follow online links to the latest information. Clear, informative text is supported with 3D models, eyebrow-raising fact boxes and ‘find out more’ reference charts.

Delving into biology, behaviour and habitat, this book explores the natural history and structure of the animal world. Divided into colour-coded sections, every animal group is introduced from invertebrates to mammal and each chapter highlights a ‘star’ creature.

And that’s just the book. Once you have discovered the main facts in the encyclopedia you can go online to learn more. The eencyclopedia animal website is regularly monitored and packed with specially selected links to provide the most relevant and age-appropriate information.

The book contains an ‘e>>link’ feature for each topic, which highlights the keyword needed to get the best search results online.

Discover live and archive footage, hundreds of downloadable images, sound buttons, interactive polls, quizzes and games, as well as further links to related organisations and the latest research.

With this interactive book children can learn to use the Internet with confidence and make homework fun. The encyclopedia supports the National Science Curriculum at KS2.
