Présentation de l'éditeur :

Looking for Jaguar takes you on an expedition through the world's rain forests. In Costa Rica you will trek across a jungle in the clouds. In Brazil you will canoe among treetops. In Belize you will stand in the spattering rain listening to howler monkeys roar. In Borneo you will cling to a rope bridge high in the canopy.

And what will you see? Astonishing things:

• A flower three feet in diameter that stinks like rotting meat
• An antelope so small and a frog so large that both are the same size
• A flying snake
• A tree that walks

Astonishing -- and true!
