Here is an original and exciting new look at
the amazing world of shells. Stunning real-life photographs of both living
animals and their empty shells offer a unique "eyewitness" view of these
complex and often beautiful creatures - what they eat, where they live and
how they protect themselves. See: how giant clams can trap pearl divers, a
real-life sequence of a snail emerging from its shell, an ancient Roman
pot teeming with shell life, and a sea-dwelling cucumber. Learn: which
crabs borrow empty mollusk shells, how a mollusk builds its shell, why
some animals are "armor-plated", and how scallops swim. Discover: how an
otter smashes open mollusks to eat, how shells grow, why lobsters are like
medieval knights, which animals have a skeleton and a shell, and much,
much more.
