Publisher's Synopsis
This is a study of predatory creatures - the third in a trilogy of books on animal behaviour. When hunger calls, the South American horned frog can swallow a rat whole; the killer whale will beach itself to catch a sea lion; the spitting spider will glue its food to the ground before devouring it; and the octopus poisons and crushes its prey. The book contains 12 pictures, each accompanied by a brief text. The two previous books in the trilogy are "Somewhere Today" and "And So They Build".;Bert Kitchen's other books include "Animal Numbers" (which was awarded the First Graphics Prize at the Bologna Book Festival), "Animal Alphabet", "Mythical Creatures", "Tenrec's Twigs" and "Pig in a Barrow".
