Description:
All mammal mothers feed, protect, and teach their young--even though these tasks often challenge their own needs for survival. A mammal baby's journey to maturity varies dramatically depending on whether it is a bear or a bat, a shrew or a seal, a hippopotamus or a human. This fascinating introduction--now in Spanish--to the world of mammals reveals how 14 mammal babies travel the path from helpless infants to self-sufficient adults.
