  From the top of the tallest mountain to the bottom of the deepest ocean Smarties Beautiful Beasties contains a great menagerie of the fastest, the noisiest, the smelliest, the most dangerous, the hairiest...and the most peculiar creatures in the animal kingdom. Catch a glimpse of killer frogs and exploding hedgehogs. Discover a cat that can swim faster than an Olympic athlete, and size up the biggest pair of feet you've ever seen. Did you know? The Venezuelan skunk frog is the smelliest creature in the world; 300 people really were eaten alive by piranha fish in 1981, when their boat capsized; A tiger can swim nine times faster than the Olympic record holder; There's even a seven-tonne baby that can swallow a swimming pool in one gulp, in this colourful, fact-filled stampede through our animal world.
