Do you fancy living in a freezer? Me neither. But polar bears are perfectly at home in freezing temperatures. They couldn't survive in a hot desert. Why? This book explains how animals share their living space with other animals and plants that live under the same conditions. It examines how living things survive in icy climates, grasslands, rainforests and harsh desert environments. At a deeper level you will learn about the complexity of biomes and why we need to protect these precious environments.
