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 heartfelt 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. In this book, every character is inspired by a real animal hero: a purebred pigeon that set countless flying records; a black wolf that fearlessly defends its territory and honor against traps and guns; a mountain cat as fierce as a tiger; a poor cat that looks down upon noble life; a long-eared hare that repeatedly defeats hunting dogs and wins freedom for itself; a small white dog that overcomes wolves; a wolf that lives in the city and is beloved by children; and a white reindeer that dashes past and changes the fate of Norway.
