The Siberian tiger, the great white shark, and many other present-day apex predators are powerful and deadly. But in the past there were even more lethal killers - animals that stalked their prey thousands or millions of years ago.
In this strikingly illustrated exploration of top predators, you'll come face to face with some of the top killers of today and yesterday, including...
- an eight-foot-long eel that stuns its prey with a powerful jolt of electricity
- a huge venomous lizard whose bite can kill a water buffalo
- a bird with a wingspan of a small airplane
- a flying reptile that stood as tall as a giraffe, and
- a scorpion bigger than a grown man.
Find out what it takes to get to the top of the food chain!
This book is about apex predators: animals too big, too fierce, or too well-armed to be prey for any other creature. Some are living today, while others have been extinct for millions of years. Alive or dead, they are - or were - the top killers of their time and place.
