Description
Illustrated Inventory of Animals
Book Summary
A comprehensive Darwinian catalog that brings together over a hundred animal species from around the world, from the poles to the tropics. This illustrated book classifies fauna by geographic habitats, offering the common and scientific name of each specimen, accompanied by a description and a delicate watercolor illustration. A work that invites readers to discover the diversity of the animal kingdom, from the toucan to the cow, fostering knowledge of the natural environment and awareness of its conservation.
What is it about?
The book presents a visual and descriptive inventory of world fauna, organized by ecosystems: tropical forests, desert zones, savannas, mountains and temperate forests, polar regions, oceans, coasts and riverbanks, inhabited zones, and farms. It includes both vertebrates (mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles) and invertebrates, which represent more than 60% of animal species and 95% of total diversity. Each entry details the scientific and common name of the animal, along with a brief description that complements the naturalistic watercolor illustration.
