Creatures that sting, bite, crunch, crush, strangle, stomp, gore, spear, invade and annoy! From bears to bees, snakes to spiders, tigers to ticks and panthers to piranhas, this engrossing (and occasionally gruesome!) book reveals the most venomous and deadly animals around the world.
What are the world's deadliest animals? The Australian Taipan, the box jellyfish, the mosquito? This lively new book is a fascinating and illuminating journey through the dangers of the animal world - from underwater killers, such as sharks and alligators, to killer creatures of the air, such as wasps and hornets. Discover how bacteria and viruses take their place in the line-up of microscopic killer creatures, and how some animals are less deadly than you think (coconuts, for example, are deadlier than sharks!) And the most deadly creature of them all? You may be very surprised!
