Monkeys and Apes in the Wild
Apes and monkeys are our closest relatives in the animal kingdom. Their peculiarities and abilities, their behaviour and mysteries fascinate us to the core. They are presented here in all their diversity from the pygmy marmoset that weighs roughly 100 grams to an adult Gorilla of 270 kilos. Ingo Arndt has spent a decade capturing these wonderful images of apes and monkeys in the wild. He describes how the photographs were taken and includes anecdotes of his adventures on his travels. Each section features an informative introductory chapter by zoologist Fritz Jantschke.

Whose foot is this? An intriguing close-up of an animal's foot piques curiousity that's satisfied on the following page with a stunning full-size photo of the animal itself and a brief description of how the foot is used. A tiger stalks its prey on velvet paws. A gecko's ribbed feet enable it to climb walls as smooth as glass. The mole uses its feet for digging. The webbed feet of a duck help it swim. Rabbits and kangaroos have feet adapted for jumping fast and far. Caterpillars, starfish, and octopuses all use their feet to grab hold. The guessing-game format makes learning about natural adaptation fun. Includes an index of all animals illustrated.
