Great coffe table book

This is a wonderful coffee table book. It gives you a comprehensive look a wide variety of animals from many different habitats including forests, mountains, plains, deserts, ponds, rivers, seas & the arctic. An adorable baby bears climb a tree. A porcupine mother kisses her child & a mother blue jay lovingly feeds her young. You get a close-up look at an owl stretching its wings & a glimpse of a cougar in mid-air ready to pounce.Sun-dappled dolphins are seen diving in the sea & a large group of walruses are shown wading to shore. There is even an amusing photo of a polar bear resting on its back. Over 100 species are pictured in all.The finest work of 19 photographers spans the continent. The captions are detailed and informative and there is additional text in each section going into further detail on a few of the animals featured.
