Bite, sting, kill! : the incredible science of toxins, venom, fangs & stingers

Beer, Julie (Children's author) (author.).

Summary:

"A venomous lizard the size of a small car. A snake capable of taking down an elephant. A "monster" that sends venom into its victims while it's chewing on them. Sound like the makings of the ultimate thriller movie? It's real life. And it's just the beginning"-- Provided by publisher.

"These venomous beasts are ready to attack! Sink your teeth into this book to discover how black mambas, Komodo dragons, black widows, scorpions, king cobras, and so many more use their deadly skills to dispatch toxins and devour their prey. With each spine-tingling page, explore how these ferocious predators use venom to survive, and how humans have harnessed their extraordinary powers." -- Back cover.
