Travel across open waters, into coastal seas, through warm tropical reefs and deep into the murky ocean depths where sharks live. From the tiny pygmy shark to the massive whale shark, this book depicts some of the ocean's most extraordinary creatures through stunning art. 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.
