Discover the mighty fish that have ruled the oceans since
prehistoric times in this picture-packed guide to the extraordinary
shark family. Did you know that sharks first appeared in the oceans
200 million years before the dinosaurs, and that they have an
electrical sixth sense that helps them locate their prey? How
dangerous is a great white shark? Can a whale shark really grow as
big as a city bus? If you find yourself seeking the answers to
these questions, then this may be the book for you! Discover where
they live, why they are hunted, and what can be done to protect
them. The book even takes you inside a shark to learn how it eats
and breathes. It explains, too, how they can swim so fast and how
different tail shapes affect the way each species moves. You'll see
for yourself how a lemon shark is born, and which looks stranger,
the hammerhead or the horn shark. Learn, too, about their
relatives, the manta rays and skates. Throughout the pages of this
