Synopsis

Useful for home or school reference, the titles in this series cover animal life from all over the planet. They take an in-depth look at every aspect of wildlife biology and ecology - how their bodies work, how they feed, where they live and how they defend themselves. Squeezing like a snake, swooping like a bird of prey, snapping like a crocodile, attacking like a shark - learn how some of the strongest and most feared animals in the wild use their specialist survival skills. Special features focus on critical moments in a predator's life, such as the hatching of a young crocodile, or the shark's finely tuned tracking of its prey. Did you know spirals give amazing but true nuggets of information. This title takes you on a journey into some of the wildest places on Earth, from the swamps of Australasia to the seas of the South Pacific, and helps you to discover the secrets of these powerful predators.
