Life Science Stories: Life in Extreme Places

How do deep-sea hatchetfish "talk" to other hatchetfish?
How do fennec foxes keep cool in the desert?
What keeps an ibex from falling off a mountain?
Life in Extreme Places introduces how plants and animals survive living in places as extreme as the bottom of the ocean, the edge of a cliff and the slopes of a mountain. Readers journey through some of Earth's harshest environments - from hot deserts to frozen polar lands - to explore the life that can be found there. Essential science concepts, such as biomes and adaptations, are described clearly.
