About this title

Synopsis

Steve Backshall, adventurer and British TV personality, embarked on his most daring adventure yet: a six-month voyage to six continents in search of 60 deadly creatures. Here they are?and these color photographs bring readers as close as theyd ever want to get to such dangerous game as Africa's Black Mamba, a snake whose lethal bite can kill an adult human in 15 minutes, and the mysterious, carnivorous Ghost Bat of northern Australia.

The book serves as a companion to Backshall's popular TV series, and captures the most remarkable techniques and fearsome weapons in the animal kingdom.
