動物偽裝大師: 是誰躲在裡面?

內容簡介

內容簡介 動物界的隱身術高手 你看不到我、你看不到我…！真的看不到耶！動物界有好多隱身術高手，有的用顏色、有的變化花紋，將自己和環境融為一體，保護自己。有誰呢？常見的有變色龍、竹節蟲、蘭花螳螂、貓頭鷹環蝶，但沒想到北極熊、加蓬毒蛇、擬態章魚、三趾樹懶也是﹙牠是游泳高手，跟在陸地的形象超反差的﹚，還有哪些動物也擅長隱身術呢？ Marc Martin 是一位屢獲殊榮的藝術家，也是 A Forest, Everything & Everywhere 和紐約時報年度最佳兒童讀物 A River的創作者。他說：即使不常見到這些動物，但是認識、瞭解他們如何躲避掠食者，對於保護地球、生態平衡，維持共存是至關重要的。 In a seek-and-find extravaganza, stylish illustrations and a brisk text unmask twelve of the most elusive creatures on earth. Now you see them, now you don't. Cloaked in a riot of color, pattern, and texture are a dozen animals-from chameleons and polar bears to Gaboon vipers and mimic octopuses-that have mastered the art of fading into the background. Fact-packed pages segue into clever and beautifully illustrated seek-and-find spreads that put readers' newfound knowledge of each creature and its ecosystem to the test. In a timely and visually arresting novelty book for nature lovers of every stripe, Marc Martin jets budding conservationists around the world to artfully expose the secrets of animal camouflage.
