Hyenas

Toothy mouth yips, Powerful jaws snap, Meet the hyena! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these scavenging African mammals. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts, and the animals' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a Zulu tale about the hyena adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
