In Wild Animals, children learn that meerkats enjoy a meal of scorpions after biting off their poisonous tails, plus many other fun and interesting facts. They learn about an unusual creature from the southern African desert as well as about the tortoise and lizards from the Galapagos Islands off the coast of South America, kangaroos from Australia and other wild animals from all over the world. Plus, they get to read an exciting story about the coyotes living in Tata's orchard.
