Summary:
How do animals such as birds, insects, and bats stay in the air? The answer of course is wings and feathers. Wings and feathers are important adaptations that have taken millions of years evolve. Feathers first appeared during the time of the dinosaurs, and birds are actually distant relatives of dinosaurs. Insects with wings appeared many thousands of years before feathers appeared. This book discusses how these adaptations benefit the birds, insects, and other animals that possess them. Vibrant photographs of flying animals are paired with manageable text to make this book both educational and engaging.
