Great British Marine Animals is a colourful photographic guide to
fish and invertebrate life in the seas around Britain. It helps
identify a wide range of species and has a special focus on their
behaviour with many spreads and sequences of stunning underwater
photos to show them going about their busy lives. Beautiful sea
anemones lash out with superbly armed tentacles, seemingly
invincible crabs shed their armour suits to grow (some decorate
them afterwards!), limpets argue with each other, versatile sea
slugs recycle defensive weapons from their prey, starfish exert
huge forces to pull open their victims while fish can build nests,
clean each other or sometimes change sex when the situation demands
- to list just a few examples! The extraordinarily sophisticated
cuttlefish is given ten pages to show a range of its amazing
skills, while the complex social life of the tompot blenny gets
nine that even includes a panel of recognised individuals. This
expanded 4th edition is much the biggest upgrade so far, containing
930 high quality underwater photographs (compared to 600 in the 3rd
edition) and detailing 320 species (up from 280) in 432 pages (up
from 320). The book is organised by animal groups and species but
has a special additional 'behaviour index' to highlight their
wonderfully diverse strategies and habits. It appeals to all ages
and levels of knowledge.
