We hear a lot about the importance of the amazing, large animals of our world, but what about the little creatures whose roles are just as vital Covering 20 fascinating animals including Antarctic krill, pygmy marmosets, and honeybees, Nature s Tiny Champions sheds light on the important contributions they make to our planet by playing key roles in natural phenomena such as migration, food chains, and pollination. Each tiny champion is accompanied by a life-size diagram, highlighting how animals don t have to be big to make a huge difference.
