What is Surprising Sharks about?

Sharks are far more surprising than their fearsome reputation suggests. In this lively introduction to the ocean’s most misunderstood predators, discover tiny sharks no bigger than a chocolate bar, species that glow in the dark, and creatures with wonderfully unusual shapes and habits. Packed with fascinating facts and lively explanations, the book explores how sharks live, hunt and survive, while showing why most are no threat to people. Prepare to see these remarkable animals in a whole new way.
