Animal Anatomy on File (Facts on File Science Library)

A book that contains 250 photo-copiable charts and diagrams of the major divisions of the animal kingdom from the simplest, the sponges, to the most complex, man. The diagramatic plates illustrate the external form, the skeleton, various body systems, muscles, and major organs, but the coverage varies per animal. For instance, there are 2 diagrams (the external form and the skeleton) for the chicken, but 14 for the human animal. Almost 50 species of animals are illustrated, including the bat, cat, dog, dolphin, pigeon, kangaroo, and pig. Biology students doing reports will find the book useful. Art students also may find it helpful when they need a really clear external view of a particular animal.
