Vanishing Treasures

Vanishing Treasures: A Bestiary of Extraordinary Endangered Creatures by Katherine Rundell

A number of animals are vanishing. This book provides brief bits about various animals and their lives. The Greenland shark is an interesting case. They live for centuries and spend most of the time deep in the sea. They might be nearly extinct. Or they may be thriving. We just don't know the details. Other animals are more well known. Lemurs, elephants, storks and others. Many are animals that we know well, yet are losing their habitats and population. The book is short and interesting.
