Could you survive the world’s deadliest animals?

Meet 50 of the most dangerous animals on the planet and find out how to stay alive if you’re (un)lucky enough to meet one.

Never look a gorilla in the eye.

Never stand in front of an elephant.

Never be upwind of a polar bear.

And NEVER run from a lion!

Come face-to-face with creatures of all shapes and sizes – from hippos and crocodiles to mosquitoes and scorpions. Find out which have a deadly venom, a powerful bite or terrifying talons and uncover the tell-tale signs that they are going to strike!

Packed with amazing animal facts, you’ll discover where they live, how they attack their prey and defend themselves from predators, including humans, plus you’ll learn about the conservation challenges they face.

Perfect for budding zoologists and animal fans, this book will bring awe, wonder and a whole lot of respect for some of the most feared creatures on Earth!
