Description

Part of a series, this book explores the underwater world of sharks - how they evolved, how they live and breed and why they occasionally predate on humans. The photographs depict the species in close-up and aim to dispel some of the myths and mysteries commonly associated with sharks. From whale sharks 18 metres long to the tiny mini-sharks that fit in the palm of a hand, from the terrifying razor-sharp teeth of the tiger shark to the harmless gaping jaws of the filter-feeding members of the family, the reader can discover this underwater world. The book includes a photo-sequence of the birth of a lemon shark. - from Amzon
