Features: "So that's how it is," bridging the gap from popular science to public understanding. Asking "Why" a million times and revealing the answers. On Earth, there are over 1.5 million species of animals, and humans are just one branch among them, sharing common origins and coexisting on the planet. Humans and animals are relatives in the entire biosphere, with animals being friends of humanity in the past, present, future, and forever. Animals are also a vital natural resource for human survival. To achieve sustainable development, humans must protect animals, and protecting animals is an essential part of preserving natural ecosystems and biodiversity. Therefore, understanding animals and exploring animal science knowledge is akin to understanding humanity itself. Among natural science knowledge, animals are one of the most vivid and engaging subjects. In this book, over 120 typical and representative animal species are selected, accompanied by photos, clearly demonstrating how diverse and fascinating animal appearances can be. Then, experienced zoologists, animal care experts, and science communicators use fluent, accessible, and vivid language to reveal knowledge about animals' ecology, habits, and behaviors, creating a "lightbulb moment" for readers. This book can be said to open a window to animal knowledge for young people, biology teachers, and animal enthusiasts, perhaps inspiring some to further explore the science of animals. With wisdom, humans must build a harmonious society, starting with establishing a harmonious, "unity of heaven and humanity," balanced natural ecosystem. It is hoped that this book can also inspire people in this regard.
