Summary

The great white shark and the barracuda are fish with bad reputations. They're known for being fierce and scary predators--and they are! In this book, readers are introduced to even more predatory fish, including those with sharp teeth, venomous spines, and lures to trick prey into their mouths. Up-close photographs give readers a front row seat to the predators in action and enable them to see their weapons--or the important body parts they use to hunt. Age-appropriate text and details will spark the curiosity of animal lovers everywhere.
