  This fabulous book looks at the amazing world of wild animals. You will discover how animals use their physical characteristics and even adapt them, to enable them to live in wild and extreme conditions. Then you can explore the relationship between animals and people and learn how we humans are threatening the existence of many species. A huge range of animals is included, from beetles and snakes to wolves and elephants, as well as sea creatures such as sharks and dolphins. These are shown in over 800 extraordinary colour pictures by top wildlife photographers and illustrators, including rare shots of threatened species. You will discover the amazing abilities of some quite different animals - how snakes sense danger with their tongues and how spiders rely on vibrations to detect predators. You will also find out some fantastic facts, myths, legends and the animal folklore of our ancestors.
