看過那麼多熱帶雨林的書,您是否想過在熱帶雨林的頂端,也就是雲端的雨林住了那些生物?牠們又是怎樣的生活方式?跟平地上的動物有什麼不同嗎?那裏的氣候又是如何呢?這些就是這本書所探討的重點!適合8歲以上兒童閱讀。Have you ever visited the cloud forest? Through the pages of this book, travel to where the winds hit the high mountains of Costa Rica. Discover for yourself this tropical wonderland full of resplendent quetzals, stealthy margays, slow-moving sloths, and dozens of other startling and secretive creatures. Learn how these animals survive, and watch how the clouds water and nourish the forest’s thousands of kinds of plants. Find out, too, about threats to this remarkable ecosystem and what you can do to help. Two well-known guides-nature writer Sneed Gollard III and illustrator Michael Rothman-will accompany you on your visit to the forest in the clouds. |
