Survival in nature is a constant struggle that depends mostly on instinct...but sometimes on plain old luck.
In these ten short stories, animals face dramatic moments when instinct makes the difference between life or death. A young mountain goat trusts his unproven agility in a daring leap. An eagle uses her powerful wings in a desperate bid to live. An osprey's fishing luck turns against him. Will their instinctive choices mean survival for these and the other seven animals in the stories? Exciting action and adventure for ages 9-12.
