Sharks and other top fish predators are experts at hunting, using a variety of techniques to bring down their prey. Hammerhead sharks pin their prey to the seabed, great whites have monstrous jaws filled with razor sharp teeth, groupers team up with wrasse in coordinated attacks, and moray eels prefer to ambush their victims. Different techniques and adaptations are examined in detail, showing how fish predators are perfectly suited to their habitat and to the prey they pursue.

Each spread has dramatic photographs and looks in detail at one mammal predator and focuses on its primary weapon, such as speed, teeth, or ambush. The prey animal shows us how it attempts to evade certain death, whether through camouflage, a speedy retreat, or safety in numbers. Stat panels give readers a quick overview of how predator and prey stack up against each other.

Predators are awe-inspiring. Whether they are fast, strong, armed with claws or teeth, cunning, patient, or venomous, they are all masters of the art of killing their prey. Young readers will love the Predator Vs Prey series with its amazing photographs and the details about super-senses or incredible adaptations. These books also highlight the variety of life on Earth and reinforce how animals are adapted to their habitats.

Suitable for readers aged 7+ who are either fascinated by wildlife or are studying natural history, animal adaptations, or classification.
