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.
