Paperback. Condizione: Good. Table of Contents Introduction What is a pig? What kinds of pigs are there? Where did pigs come from? The history of pigs and humans Babirusas (also known as pig-deer) Pot-belled pigs Red river hogs Wild Boars Feral Pigs Peccaries Warthogs Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Pigs have long been a part of human life. The ancient Israelites considered them unclean animals, and would not eat them; however, many, many cultures consider them a great source of food. The pig is present in the Chinese zodiac, a way of keeping track of years by assigning twelve animals, one to each year. It's also said to predict traits and such about people born in those years. It's the twelfth sign, because, according to legend, the pig showed up last to the great meeting where the animals were assigned to a system. The pig has long been a sign of gluttony, especially in Western culture. In the book Animal Farm, they greedily consume the best of the food, and do almost none of the work. Pigs are considered dirty, but the fact is, they tend to be very clean animals. They do consume a lot of food, but not all pigs are fat; it's mostly domesticated (bred to serve humans) pigs that are as obese-looking as you see in the modern day.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Table of Contents Introduction What is a sloth? What kinds of sloths are there? Relatives of sloths The history of sloths and humans Pygmy three-toed sloth Hoffman's two-toed sloth Brown-throated sloth Giant sloth Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction You've probably heard of someone being called a sloth, or even of one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Sloth. But what is a sloth, and how did it come to be used as a bad thing to be called? You might guess that it's some sort of horrible animal, but the truth couldn't be any different. Sloths are slow creatures, named for the sin rather than the other way around.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Table of Contents Introduction What is a beluga whale? How do beluga whales act? Where did beluga whales come from? The history of beluga whales and humans Beluga whales and conservation Beluga whales and culture Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction The beluga whale, also known as the white whale, is a favorite of many people. It's intelligent and cute, not unlike a larger dolphin.

As a sea creature, the beluga whale is an important part of its environment, and has had an impact on humans. Or, more accurately, humans have had an impact on the beluga whale. Much like puffins, the beluga whale helped humans live in areas that are hard to live in. This wasn't done without a cost to the beluga whale, however, as you shall soon see.…

Publisher Introduction Chinchillas are fun, cute, and highly unique animals. Most people can claim that they have heard of a chinchilla, but very few know what they look like, or know much about them. This is because chinchillas are not native to a very unique part of the world, meaning they live in only one small area of the world. Chinchillas were discovered in the 1500s by Spanish explorers that came to South America. Even though they were discovered in the 1500s, it wasn't until the 1900s that people came to know more about chinchilla. Today, chinchillas can be kept as pets, and because of their cute and cuddly appearance, and their unique and quirky personalities, people all over the world have fallen in love with them.
