denominations and various countries and continually review new research
to ensure the NIV remains at the forefront of accessibility, relevance,

expert insights. Learn about the White-Spotted Pufferfish, whose
spines hide a deadly toxin, or the Ocellate River Stingray, who
lurks in the rivers of South America and who can kill with just one
touch of it's barbed stinger. Meet Bargibant's Pygmy Seahorse, who
measures just 2cm in length, as well as the enourmous Whale Shark,
which grows to around 13m in length. Be fascinated by the wierd
creatures of the deep ocean, such as the Peter's Elephantnosed Fish
or the kaleidescopic Picasso's Triggerfish. With a foreword by
