Features: This is a true story that takes place in the jungle. The author is a renowned zoologist and naturalist who uses the rigorous and meticulous observations of a biologist, combined with the passionate yet slightly melancholic touch of a writer, to guide us into a real animal world. We share joy and sorrow with those admirable and lovable creatures. On the snow, a rabbit's adventurous journey; in the cold winter, a hungry fox finally enjoys a delicious lunch; in the forest, an owl and a cottontail rabbit engage in an intense battle of wits. All of these, you don't need to see with your own eyes—zoologist Seton will teach you how to know everything just by observing animal tracks. For over seventy years, Seton patiently tracked the lives of wild animals, recording every important movement and change. This book is made up of the most representative manuscripts and illustrations selected from his fifty notebooks filled with dense text and sketches. It is the most representative book in the field of animal observation.
