Eyewitness: Shark
More on Eyewitness Books

the supreme predator of the ocean. But not all sharks are the killers depicted in films. Some, like the harmless megamouth, feed
solely on plankton. Find out about the natural history, behavior, and
habits of sharks and their relatives and why so many myths surround these
magnificent creatures. See inside the mouth of a great white, a school of
hammerheads, the rarest shark in the world, a lemon shark pup being born
and how sharks are tagged. Learn why it is so important for sharks to be
saved, why South Sea Islanders worshiped the shark, how the Earth's
magnetic field affects shark migration, how a shark can detect its prey
and what a great white looks like to a diver in an underwater cage. And much, much more!

Sharks and Other Creatures of the Deep
There is no sight more
terrifying that the fin of a hungry Great White shark cutting thought the
surface of the water! But sharks aren't the only mysteries of the deep. In
fact, the world's oceans are filled with strange creatures - some of them
more intimidating than the shark. Sharks and Other Creatures of the
Deep introduces them all: the big, the bad, and the ugly. The
detailed, full-color illustrations bring to life these aggressive
predators - creatures such as the poisonous Australian sea wasp, the
deadly blue octopus, the ghastly goosefish, the voracious moray eel...and
of course, the menacing shark.

reference books, each of which is a wealth of information and full-color
illustrations. Every topic in the series has been carefully chosen not

Sharks of the World
Ever since the hit film Jaws, the
terrifying image of the shark as a mindless killing machine has firmly
imprinted itself on many of us. But with their large brains and
extraordinarily keen sensory perception, sharks have a more sophisticated
physiology than previously thought. Take a "dive" into shark-infested
waters to watch and understand their behavior patterns. Very adaptive,
they act in accordance with the demands of feeding and reproduction. The
breeds range from the tiny (6 inches) Squaliolus laticaudus to the famed
White Shark, who can measure 39 feet. Many live primarily on fish, though they will attack unfortunate
humans who cross their path, as a number of stories recounted here prove.
Incredible photographs offer a glimpse into the shark's wide jaws and
toothy mouth, and of an incredible variety of species, including the
handsome zebra shark, sand tiger, and nurse shark. An informative view of
a much misunderstood creature. 6" x 9" 40 color and 80 b/w
illustrations. 192 pages. Paperback.
No. BLS30-SW. Only $17.95
