Now in an archival quality (removable) Brodart cover.A children's natural history written by educator and author Herbert R. Kohl and Judith Kohl, examining the social lives of three very different animal groups: wolves, sifaka lemurs, and Macrotermes termites.[From the front flap] Wolves consider a forty-square-mile territory home and roam over a hundred square miles. Sifaka lemurs spend ninety percent of their time in trees fifty feet aboveground and are found only on the small island of Madagascar. Macrotermes termites live in mounds that can be twenty feet tall, and in groups numbering hundreds of thousands, making it impossible to tell one from the other. In this fascinating look at non-human societies, Judith and Herbert Kohl take the reader on imaginary voyages to explore the world of wolves, lemurs, and termites. They go beyond the complexity and variety of scientific observations required to study each group, and discuss the unique social bonds that account for the legendary teamwork of a wolf pack, the non-violent behavior of lemurs, and the astounding communications system of a termite colony that makes it an entity in itself. The Kohls expand on such observations as these to describe the similarities between these non-human societies and our own, as well as suggest the value and achievement possible for those who choose to study them.Contents: Setting Out; Social Life: The Individual and the Group; What Animals Do You Like?; The Wolf's World; Lemurs: A Voyage of Discovery; Termite Cities; Conclusion: The World of Social Animals; Sources; Further Reading.
