A Curious Collection of Dangerous Creatures: An Illustrated Encyclopedia (Curious Collection of Creatures)

by Sami Bayly (Author)

From the frightening murder hornet to the fierce wolverine--a visual trove of the most dangerous animals on the planet!

Publisher's note: A Curious Collection of Dangerous Creatures was previously published in Australia under the title The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Dangerous Animals.

When you think of dangerous animals, what comes to mind--a great white shark, a rattlesnake? What about the hooded pitohui, with its extremely poisonous feathers, or the coffin ray, which electrocutes its prey? Dangerous animals get a bad rap--and they can be pretty scary!--but that's precisely what makes them remarkable.

A Curious Collection of Dangerous Creatures pairs beautifully detailed illustrations with awesome facts about 60 of Earth's most lethal animals--some that will surprise you, such as the blue-and-yellow macaw and the common otter. With this encyclopedia in hand, you may well steer clear! What's more, these fascinating creatures need our help: Many are endangered, and we can't ignore them any longer. It's time to find a fearsome creature to love . . . from a safe distance!
