Killers of the Seas is a rousing, scientifically sound survey of all the sea creatures that instill dread in the hearts of humans. Edward Ricciuti, a science writer with a passion for scuba diving and oceanographic expeditions, has swum eye-to-eye with a killer whale, tagged and captured sharks, and had numerous tense exchanges with barracuda, moray eels, and stingrays.
Supplementing his own experiences with interviews that feature scores of the world's leading marine biologists, Ricciuti explores the latest research and the lingering legends of oceanic and freshwater predators including: sharks and shark attacks (including the little-known horned goblin shark); the incredibly venomous Japanese puffer fish ("fugu" when cooked); the ominous migrations of Pacific sea snakes through the Panama Canal; the aquatic Borgia, a tiny blue-ringed octopus that can kill a man in seconds; the monsters of the seas - legendary, prehistoric, and possibly still alive and well.
Killers of the Seas also includes the fascinating evolutionary and environmental factors that make these creatures and many others behave as they do.
