Features: This book tells several ordinary yet deeply moving animal stories. Clag is a resilient ram with uniquely curved horns, renowned in the animal world, but ultimately could not escape the fate of being hunted. His head and horns are still preserved in a museum in Europe. Johnny is a little bear living in Yellowstone National Park in the United States. The park's wildlife protection policies made him lose his health and wilderness instincts, rendering him unable to live in nature. He eventually died in a human kitchen. To cope with the increasingly depleted pond, a duck mother took her 10 newly hatched ducklings on a migration journey that was not long but extremely arduous. Dingdong, the loyal dog of a grassland hunter, would rather starve to death 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 enemies, used his cunning and trickery to turn hunters into manipulated puppets.
