The term scarcely appears nowadays in a scientific description of living things, but we humans may nonetheless find the colors, patterns, and songs of animals to be beautiful in apparently the same way that we see beauty in works of art. In this book, the author describes how the colors and patterns displayed by animals arise, what they communicate, and how they function in the social life of animals. Watercolor drawings illustrate these amazing instances of animal beauty.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 576.8 Nu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 576.8 Nu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
