When a squirrel makes a narrow escape from a falcon at a carnival, it learns about various raptor species, including hawks, vultures, and eagles. Explores how they hunt and scavenge, their skeletal and muscular anatomy, their evolution, famous naturalists who first studied them, their migratory patterns, and their important roles in food webs. Includes diagrams, maps, and a glossary. Teaching Books: https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=76716.
