Life in the Wild

Observing the Mysterious Lives of 10 Real Animals

Illustrated by Chiara Fedele
Meet 10 exceptional animals and track their unique and hidden escapades through the animal kingdom in this exciting wildlife book for kids

What can ten real-life and jaw-dropping animal journeys teach us about our world, and the ways in which it is changing?

As a filmmaker and scientist, Lizzie Daly tells stories about the natural world and uncovers the hidden secrets of our planet. But despite huge advances in technology, there is still so much we don't know about what species get up to in the wild. However, sometimes – just sometimes – we get a small glimpse into what their lives are like.

This eye-opening children’s wildlife book offers:

- The adventures of exceptional stories of 10 animals, including the longest traveled Great White Shark, the oldest living wild bird, and a puma turned long distance swimmer!
- Content written by scientist, conservationist, and TV presenter Lizzie Daly.
- A combination of science and storytelling, helping children to see and understand the natural world through the eyes of a scientist.

Life in the Wild tells the tale of our planet's intriguing wildlife. Through 10 real stories, we follow in the footprints of polar bears, big cats, wolves, and jaguars, and explore oceans with whales, sharks, and seabirds. These tales of migration, mystery, and unique behaviors teach children new and exciting information about animal activity and ecology, and give us access to some of the most inhospitable corners of our planet.
Lizzie Daly, PhD, is a Welsh wildlife biologist, broadcaster, filmmaker, and conservationist. She has a PhD in animal movement, and her healthy curiosity for the natural world has led her to conduct research and make wildlife films all over the world. Lizzie has worked as a presenter on Cbeebies, CBBC, National Geographic, BBC Two, and Animal Planet and has been a regular host on the BBC Earth Unplugged YouTube channel. Lizzie continues to push her own wildlife films on her YouTube channel @LizzieDalyWildlifeTV.
