Animals of the Nile

Running south to north through the African continent, the Nile--stretching for more than 4000 miles--is the world's longest river, traditionally providing a home for many kinds of animals, although those habitats are shrinking today due to human encroachment. Animals of the Nile, which features beautiful film footage from Discovery Channel productions, introduces the viewer to the various non-human residents along the Nile's banks, exploring animal behaviors such as feeding and breeding, while also looking at their historical and cultural connection to the land. Part of the eight-volume series, Animal Stories for Students series, other titles include: Dogs & Cats, Sharks & Whales, Asian Elephants, and Animals of the Rainforest. Recommended. Aud: E, I. (E.
