Description:
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. In a world ravaged by environmental upheaval, a silent struggle ensnares the creatures which inhabit it. Unseen whispers of a changing climate reverberate through their very existence, forever altering their delicate balance with nature. As temperatures rise and weather patterns grow wilder, animals of all shapes and sizes find themselves entrapped in an unpredictable journey towards survival. Now, in this captivating exploration, we delve into the intricate web of interactions between climate change and animals. Breathlessly racing through suspended moments of urgency, we witness the harrowing challenges faced by our fellow inhabitants - the owls whose hooting shadows echo in silent forests, the whales who embark on perilous voyages through warming oceans, the birds striving to adapt their once-reliable migratory paths. Guided by scientific insights and heartbreaking anecdotes, we peer into the hidden lives of animals battling to survive in a changing world. We uncover the struggles of endearing polar bears stranded on shrinking ice, forced hunting habits of desperate wolves, and the circus-like migration dance of vibrant butterflies forever disrupted by shifting temperatures. Each story provides a poignant glimpse into the extraordinary resilience of wildlife faced with an uncertain future. Duration - 5h 32m. Author - Marci Lang. Narrator - Digital Voice Michelle G.
