  The diet of an animal dictates the shape of its body, where it lives and its behaviour. This guide gives insight into the diets of all types of animals, presenting a huge range, from tiny beetles to elephants, and from birds of prey to whales. It explains the special problems each animal faces and the ways they have developed to cope with their diet. The book further allows you to compare the similar solutions of different sized animals - both jumping spiders and killer whales creep up on their prey and then attack with a sudden strike.
