Born to Be Wild features 50 charming portraits of new cubs, chicks, and calves--some with the mother and father, some in their pride or tribe, and some setting off on their own. Wildlife has never been under so much threat from climate change, habitation loss and poachers and hunters. This book helps to remind us of the beauty of the wild, and the accompanying text explains how the parents undertake their role of nurturer in the wild. From orangutans to humpback whales, tigers to hedgehogs, penguins to elephants, and meerkats to koalas, Hannah Dale captures and preserves the essence of wildlife in this pocket-sized book.
