N2  - This book introduces the fundamentals of zoology, including the number and kinds of animal life on Earth plus what defines an animal species and its role in the natural world - its identity; where it lives and how; its relationships to other animals in its environment, and the environment itself; what it eats and what eats it; reproduction; and more. Covers topics such as Biodiversity, Ecosystems, and Genetic Mutations and the like. Illustrated, with Appendixes and an Index
