Think of a shark, and you probably imagine a fast-swimming fish that is slim, sleek, and deadly, with long, spiky teeth to skewer its prey. But there are almost 400 different types of sharks, from the frilly-mouthed wobbegong that waits on the seabed for prey to swim by to the whale shark-a gentle giant that is harmless to humans. Step-by-step illustrations reveal the life cycle of sharks, while detailed full-page scenes plunge you into the mysterious underwater world of hammerheads, cookiecutters, great whites, and other fascinating sharks.
