Whether tiny or gigantic, whether in water, on land or in the air: animals everywhere use deadly weapons or special tricks to hunt or to repel hunters. With teeth, barbs, horns, hooves, claws, armor or venom, they threaten others or defend themselves. This book introduces a variety of dangerous animals and details their strategies for attack and defense. What are the most dangerous animals? Why do animals use venom? Are all animals dangerous to people? Why does an elephant need its tusks? What is a poison dart frog? How do crocodiles hunt? What is the most dangerous predator of the sea? And what do defenseless animals do when they are attacked?The range of animals discussed is vast, extending from snakes and spiders to predatory cats to jellyfish, with their dangerous stinging cells. Such a breadth insures stunning pictures, informative flaps to lift, and a wealth of impressive facts for young and old.
