Description
Deep beneath the Earth's surface lies a world that's been largely unexplored. Here, in near-freezing temperatures and crushing pressure, strange creatures lurk in total darkness. This stunning gift book reveals a menagerie of monsters from the deep ocean, including sharks that can live for centuries, fish with teeth so long they can't close their mouths, and jellies that glow and flash in startling colours. Anglerfish, Giant Squid, Goblin Sharks, Coffinfish, Barreleye, and many more incredible species are showcased in this beautifully illustrated book. Awe-inspiring artwork by Kaley McKean features special neon inks, while engaging text by Matt Ralphs brings these deep-sea dwellers to life. Created in consultation with marine biologist Dr Helen Scales and Dr Roz Wade from the Museum of Zoology, University of Cambridge, this book is a fascinating exploration of the ocean's most remarkable creatures.
