Focusing on predators such as sharks, grizzly bears, crocodiles, pythons and wolves, the book explains how predatory instincts and skill at hunting and killing have evolved over centuries. From the polar bear's incredible sense of smell to the archer fish's powerful jets of water, predators have an astonishing array of attack mechanisms at their disposal, all of which are covered within in jaw-dropping color on these pages.

Featuring new and original artwork, including pictures of the animated displays created especially for this exhibit, and authoritative, revelatory text written in consultation with the museum's experts, this is the most thorough, engaging book available on predators -- some of the world's most fascinating, complex creatures.
