Steve Backshall embarks on his most daring adventure yet. He has
just six months to travel to six continents and find 60 of the
deadliest creatures on the planet for the 26-part Children's BBC
series of the same name. From lethal beauties to killer beasts,
from the unseen to the unexpected, the one thing these creatures
have in common is that they are all deadly to other animals.
Steve's encounters range from famous killers such as the Black
Mamba and the North American Grizzly Bear to less well known but no
less deadly animals. He introduces the surreal Pink River Dolphin
of Amazonia and captures Australia's elusive Ghost Bat for a closer
look. Learn about the ingenious techniques and extraordinary
weapons that some of our most dangerous animals are armed with.
Including the renowned, the unexpected and the downright bizarre,
this companion book to Steve Backshall's high adrenaline tour of
the world's most deadly is not to be missed.

Explore ten of the world's most diverse environments and reveal
their hidden secrets with a magic coloured lens that illuminates
each page in a kaleidoscope of colour. Discover the dark and
mysterious creatures of the night, whose super-sensory powers allow
them to live and survive in the shadows, then switch the lens to
step into daylight, where the heat of the sun supercharges the
secret lives of creatures big and small. Finally, use the third
lens to reveal the luscious plant life of every habitat as you
travel through a jungle, a reef, grasslands, woodland and uncover a
world that never sleeps. This is an animal book like no other,
allowing you to view the natural world in full technicolour. With
three layers of artwork to discover hidden within every image, this
book can be revisited again and again, providing hours of

envisioned like never before in this groundbreaking series. The
explosions of colour on each page are in fact three distinct layers
of illustrations, each exploring a different aspect of a
fascinating subject. Use the three-colour lens to reveal the hidden
details on each one, then read all about the topic on in-depth fact
pages. There's always something new to discover in Illumi! Also
