"Inspired by Discovery Channel's signature natural history programming, Wild Discovery brings you face to face with some of the world's most fascinating creatures.

Follow the life-or-death struggle between a king penguin and a leopard seal. Filled with captivating images by master wildlife photographers - as well as a treasury of facts and a provocative narrative - Wild Discovery takes an intimate look at the never-ending drama of the natural world." - from the outer rear jacket. "In the natural world, all creatures move within an eternal cycle, one that begins at birth an involves the struggle for connection, continuity, and ultimately, the renewal of life. At times miraculous, at others tragic, these events unite Earth's creatures and often echo aspects of the human experience. Now, Wild Discovery celebrates this dance of life with a collection of stunning photographs of animals from all corners of the world. Master wildlife photographers have captured the unique expressions of animal behavior in 128 full-color images: From a fierce territorial dispute among gray wolves to the contented state of a bamboo-stuffed panda to the seemingly wise expression of an elder lowland gorilla, each depiction testifies to the complex patterns of life. Wild Discovery features six chapters, each exploring a facet of animal life. "Genesis reveals the power of the pro-creative instinct that drives the doting orangutan and the fierce Nile crocodile. In "Eat or Be Eaten," victory rests on the cunning or camouflage of both the hunter and the hunted: A six-spotted fishing spider lurks in a stream for its unwitting prey while a herd of zebras' mesmerizing stripes confuse would-be predators. "Two Together" showcases brilliant courtship displays and mating rituals, from the elaborate structure built and decorated by the bowerbird to woo his female to the communal mating song sung by male humpback whales. In "Sanctuary," a home can range from the two-inch nest of a tiny bee hummingbird to an elaborate miles-long maze of prairie-dog tunnels. "Community" describes intricate relationships on which animals depend for survival - from cooperative fishing sessions by dolphins to the hared mothering duties of mole rats. Finally, "Circle of Life" depicts animal aging and death, chronicling the respect still extended to an older lion by younger pride members and the ultimate sacrifice paid by the sockeye salmon to ensure a new generation. Illustrated factboxes and a comprehensive index complete the volume, making Wild Discovery a provocative and engaging book for anyone interested in the mysteries of the wild." - from the inner front jacket flap.
