Zoology for 6-7 grades of middle school

Why is a white butterfly flying over the garden in the summer called a cabbage white? Why do all birds have an elevated temperature - on average, 42°C? Can a lion break the spine of a large animal with one swipe of its paw? How do fish breathe in water? From simple organisms and insects to birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals - this book tells about all living creatures on our planet. Each animal is given a detailed description: how its body and organs are structured, what it eats, how it survives and reproduces. But this is not a dry textbook, but an engaging narrative with explanatory illustrations and diagrams. Written in simple language and supplemented with comprehension questions, this book will captivate children and help them learn new knowledge more easily.
