Based upon the BBC Television series, this beautifully illustrated book searches for the world's deadliest animals, including those with amazing speed (like the cheetah and barracuda), with powerful venom (like the komodo dragon and brown recluse spider and scorpion), with defensive skills (like the cassowary or grizzly bear), with great strength (like the great white shark and the harpy eagle), with great hunting ability (like the red-bellied piranha and the coyote), and the man-eaters (like the great white shark, mountain lion, screwworm, lion, and alligator). There are more than 100 four-color photographs throughout.
