There are 33 species of seals, including sea lions and walruses, and they live all over the world. Because seals can store oxygen in their muscles, they can dive deep and stay underwater for an average of 20 minutes at a time. One seal was recorded diving underwater for two hours and reached a depth of 5,500 feet! Seals delivers an in-depth look at these amazing animals, while remaining accessible to children. Perfect for older kids seeking information for report writing, and as an introduction to wildlife for new readers.
Children love the Our Wild World series because it's fun to learn about interesting animals. Each book in the series includes "Fun Facts", 30 full-color photos and illustrations, and a helpful list of internet sites with more information.
