Description
|
|
|
|
At once a beautiful exploration of nature at its most remarkable and also a "try-and-find" book for grownups, this visual safari by renowned nature photographer and wildlife advocate Art Wolf reveals the uncanny effectiveness of good camouflage. In 101 large and vivid color photos, Wolf gives us striking land and seascapes that somehow conceal fish, birds, insects, and wild animals. Some are less challenging than others—the arctic hare on page 32, for example, is the only fluffy mound on a snowy drift—but some, like the black bear on page 91, or the pygmy seahorse on page 100, are darn near impossible to spot.
