Features: This book tells several ordinary but exceptionally touching animal stories. Clagg is a resilient ram with peculiarly curved horns. Despite being renowned in the animal world, he ultimately could not escape the fate of being hunted by humans, and his head and horns are still preserved in a museum in Europe. Johnny is a small bear living in Yellowstone National Park in the United States. The park's wildlife protection policies led to his loss of health and wilderness instincts, making it impossible for him to live in nature, and he eventually died in a human kitchen. To cope with the increasingly depleted pond, a mother duck with 10 newly hatched ducklings embarked on a migration journey that was neither long nor easy but exceptionally arduous. Dingdang, the loyal puppy of a grassland hunter, would rather starve than eat smoked meat without his owner's permission and even declared war on jackals and wolves to defend his owner's empty tent. Tito, having gained extraordinary wisdom through long-term struggles with humans and natural predators, used his cunning and tricks to trick hunters into becoming puppets in his hands.
