Description
"
Combining an engaging and informative text with a superb collection of striking color photographs, this edition of The World of the Arctic Whales revelas the amazing story of three unique species — the gigantic bowhead, the narwhal (famed in mythology for its ""unicorn horn""), and the snow-white beluga with its permanent smile. Of all the whales and dolphins in the owlrd, only these three creatures live their entire lives surrounded by ice.
