  This is a study of predatory creatures - the third in a trilogy of books on animal behaviour. When hunger calls, the South American horned frog can swallow a rat whole; the killer whale will beach itself to catch a sea lion; the spitting spider will glue its food to the ground before devouring it; and the octopus poisons and crushes its prey. The book contains 12 pictures, each accompanied by a brief text. The two previous books in the trilogy are Somewhere Today and And So They Build . Bert Kitchen's other books include Animal Numbers (which was awarded the First Graphics Prize at the Bologna Book Festival), Animal Alphabet , Mythical Creatures , Tenrec's Twigs and Pig in a Barrow .
