Extreme Animals: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Extreme Animals" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Being the biggest fish in the world seems like it would help the whale shark survive. However, its size actually makes it slow and easy to attack. Similarly, giraffes height allows them to grab food other animals cant, but it makes drinking from a pool on the ground very awkward! Readers find out many more cases of extreme animal adaptions and their drawbacks. Fact boxes accompany full-color photographs of each animal, describing the animals most interesting physical features as well as their range, size, and lifespan.

There is no bigger fish

than the whale shark, yet

it can be attacked by a

group of predators, such

as dolphins, killer whales

or other sharks.

SIZE MATTERS

Bigger is better, up to a point. More

muscle and bulk may make you a

heavyweight champion. But gigantic

animals can only live in places where

food is plentiful and there is enough

space to move around.

CONDITIONS

Extremophiles are creatures that

thrive in severe conditions boiling

hot, freezing cold, extradry, even

too salty. But this only works if

other extremophiles live there too,

otherwise theres no food.

The twostriped forest

pretends to bite or strike to

scare enemies away

saving its venom for later.

No other creatures can

stand the icy conditions

Extreme speed is best for escaping

enemies and chasing prey. However a

sudden burst of energy cannot last long,

and it puts great strain on the body.
