Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of little frog Tad Ferocious is one of adventure and excitement! It all starts when the crickets show up and eat too much. They also make too much noise, according to Tads pa. The frogs and the crickets must come to an agreementand they do, just in time for Tads legs to grow in. He better be careful, though; the local farm boy loves eating frog legs! Tads best friend is Susie, and he likes to pick on her a lot. Together, they eat Fly Pie and drink spider juice. They play with other frogs along the shore of the pond, exploring dead logs and climbing new trees. They even make frog angels in the slimy mud. One day, though, Tad notices something different. The air seems a bit chillier than usual. His pa takes him into the forest and explains that frogs hide in the woods when the weather gets cold. Together, Tad, his family, and his friends prepare their hidden nests and build up cozy places to stay. Susie is always close by, and as winter descends, its exciting to think that one day, Tad wont share his den with Ma and Pa but, instead, alone with his best pal Susie.

Book excerpt: As Commander Sikwel once said, "I want you to know that Scaba is inescapable." What would the two groups of kids do when, every time they make one move toward their goal to escape from Scaba, they find that they have fallen three steps behind? Would that push them to become one team and work together to solve all the mysteries in Scaba, or fill them with hatred toward each other, exactly as King Bermuda wants. Two groups of children, the palace kids and the city's teenagers, have been kidnapped and taken to the Kingdom of Scaba, a realm that lies beneath the human world and is inhabited by bizarre creatures: the Makash and the Shakams , ruled by a vicious king who likes to see the human kids competing with each other in a brutal way. Everywhere in Scaba are human kids from all over the world serving as slaves. Some of them have been there for over ten years, and some even more. the palace kids come to know about the Doom's Book, which contain the secrets of Scaba. It is meant to be opened by only one particular pair of human beings. Are they going to find that particular couple? More importantly, can they get the book from them in the first place? Why does the city teenager become homeless? and what does it mean to become one? Is it necessary for the city teenagers to get into organized fights with Makash kids? What is the power of the Dazar, and who possesses it? How does the crystal ball work? Is so, why doesn't it reveal anything about the runaways? Why is King Bermuda the only one in Scaba who is not harmed by iron and can touch the Dazar? Who is the weird neighbor? These are just some of the many mysteries that need to be solved by the kids in order to escape from Scaba.

Download or read book The Sloth Lemur s Song written by Alison Richard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-08-04 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A moving account of Madagascar told by a researcher who has spent over fifty years investigating the mysteries of this remarkable island. Madagascar is a place of change. A biodiversity hotspot and the fourth largest island on the planet, it has been home to a spectacular parade of animals, from giant flightless birds and giant tortoises on the ground to agile lemurs leaping through the treetops. Some species live on; many have vanished in the distant or recent past. Over vast stretches of time, Madagascar’s forests have expanded and contracted in response to shifting climates, and the hand of people is clear in changes during the last thousand years or so. Today, Madagascar is a microcosm of global trends. What happens there in the decades ahead can, perhaps, suggest ways to help turn the tide on the environmental crisis now sweeping the world. The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a far-reaching account of Madagascar’s past and present, led by an expert guide who has immersed herself in research and conservation activities with village communities on the island for nearly fifty years. Alison Richard accompanies the reader on a journey through space and time—from Madagascar’s ancient origins as a landlocked region of Gondwana and its emergence as an island to the modern-day developments that make the survival of its array of plants and animals increasingly uncertain. Weaving together scientific evidence with Richard’s own experiences and exploring the power of stories to shape our understanding of events, this book captures the magic as well as the tensions that swirl around this island nation.

Download or read book Animal Conflict written by Felicity A. Huntingford and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past twenty years there have been many new developments in the study of animal behaviour: for example, more sophisticated methods of neurophysiology; more precise techniques for assessing hormonal levels; more accurate methods for studying animals in the wild; and, on the functional side, the growth of behavioural ecology with its use of optimality theory and game theory. In addition, there has been a burgeoning number of studies on a wide range of species. The study of aggression has benefited greatly from these develop ments; this is reflected in the appearance of a number of specialized texts, both on behavioural ecology and on physiology and genetics. However, these books have often been collections of papers by spe cialists for specialists. No one book brings together for the non specialist all the diverse aspects of aggression, including behavioural ecology, genetics, development, evolution and neurophysiology. Neither has there been a comparative survey dealing with all these aspects. Therefore one of our aims in writing this book was to fill in these gaps. Another of our aims was to put aggression into context with respect to other aspects of an animal's lifestyle and in particular to other ways in which animals deal with conflicts of interest. Aggressive behaviour does not occur in a biological vacuum. It both influences and is influenced by the animal's ecological and social environment, so we consider both the complex antecedent conditions in which aggressive behaviour occurs, and its ramifying consequences in the ecosystem.
