If you go down to the woods today, you're in for a big surprise! So stay in and read about the nasties you'll find there: from North America's grizzly bears to Europe's wolves.In Africa, stay clear of the black mamba's 'kiss of death', and in South America's rainforests keep out of the path of the Brazilian wandering spider. It's no safer downunder in Australia, where huge saltwater crocs lurk just beneath the water, or in Asia, where you need to watch out for big cats!
Come with Australian Geographic on a voyage like no other through our planet’s great habitats to experience what shapes the creatures living there. This remarkable book will take you thousands of metres down into the lightless world of a Pacific Ocean abyss where the pressure is so immense it would flatten aeroplanes . . . but not the Mariana snailfish! Then you’ll be transported thousands of metres back up to where the special blood of bar-headed geese helps them cope with the lack of oxygen in the air over Mount Everest. Discover how raucous howlermonkeys survive 50m or more up tropical trees in the Amazon rainforest, and howaddaxes and fennec foxes fend for themselves in the relentlessly searing heat of the Sahara Desert. Dive with us to the colourful sponge gardens and coral wonderlands of the Great Barrier Reef and dare to tread with us underground through a world of giant insects, blind fishes and other troglodytes in the caves of Southeast Asia.
