Are there really sea monsters? This book explores the ocean depths in search of some scary yet fascinating spectacles, including fish that hunt using bioluminescence, giant squid and entire deep-sea communities that survive despite having no access to sunlight. Scary Creatures of the Deep is packed with facts written in an accessible question-and-answer format. Special x-ray pages enable readers to see how the internal structure of an animal corresponds to its external appearance. The book features startlingly realistic illustrations and impressive photographs. Informative captions, a complete glossary and an index make this title an ideal educational text.
