Summary

"This beautifully illustrated book will take you far out into the ocean, into clear, coastal waters, and along warm, tropical reefs to meet the extraordinary sharks that live there. From the pygmy shark to the massive whale shark, this book captures some of the seas' most extraordinary creatures through stunning illustrations. Meet the spotted leopard shark, the voracious tiger shark, and the superfast shortfin mako, which speeds through the ocean like a bullet. Intriguing facts accompany every illustration, so you can find out why the lantern shark glows in the dark, how the epaulette shark "walks" on land, and which senses sharks use to find their prey." --Back cover
