Features: This book is mainly divided into three major groups: mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. It provides specific details on the body size, weight, distribution, and main characteristics of each animal, along with methods for pet care and observation. Animals inhabit all parts of the world, from mountains and oceans to grasslands, forests, and polar regions. The sizes of animals vary greatly. The largest is the blue whale, with a body length of 33 meters, making it the largest animal in Earth's history. The smallest mammal is the leaf-nosed bat found in Southeast Asia, with a body length of only 3.3 centimeters. The largest is over 1,000 times longer than the smallest, and the weight is even more than 100 million times greater. It is generally believed that this is the result of various animals adapting to their respective habitats.
