Fakta

"Furry Feathers" explores the fascinating biology and evolution of animal coverings, specifically fur and feathers, and how these integuments are crucial for survival. It examines how these structures enable animals to thrive in diverse environments through thermoregulation, locomotion, protection, and camouflage. The book highlights how the intricate barbules of flight feathers allow birds to soar and how the dense undercoat of Arctic mammals provides insulation against extreme cold, illustrating the vital role of these adaptations.

The book delves into the microscopic properties of fur and feathers, tracing their evolutionary pathways using evidence from paleontology and genetics. It emphasizes that these coverings are not merely physical attributes but key evolutionary innovations. From the evolution of feathers from reptilian scales to the diversification of mammalian fur types, the book presents a comprehensive view of how these adaptations have shaped biodiversity.

Structured to provide a comprehensive understanding, "Furry Feathers" begins with the biology of fur and feathers, then progresses to their evolution and interdisciplinary connections to climate science and materials science. By exploring the science behind animal coverings, this book offers valuable insights for students, educators, and nature enthusiasts interested in biology, natural history, and animal science.
