A toothy American alligator carefully carries hatchlings in her mouth, shuttling them safely to the water. A piping plover uses her best acting skills to feign an injury, luring predators away from her offspring. Whether building elaborate burrows, forgoing food for months on end to feed their cubs, toting hundreds of spiderlings on their backs, conducting patient swimming lessons, or fearlessly kicking away hyenas, mothers in the animal kingdom--whatever their species--give it their all (and then some!) to keep their little ones safe, fed, and ready to face the world on their own. This first book in a young series on animal science includes in its back matter a look at the \"super\" qualities of some of the animals and offers a collection of resources for budding naturalists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeather Lang \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Leaf Detective: How Margaret Lowman Uncovered Secrets in the Rainforest\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSwimming with Sharks: The Daring Discoveries of Eugenie Clark\u003c\/i\u003e, among other books.
