Every page reveals incredible information about the weird and wonderful world of animals. Can you believe an ant recently discovered in the treetops of Borneo explodes when under attack, covering enemy ants in a toxic goo? Did you know that the ocean-dwelling bootlace worm is longer than an Olympic-sized swimming pool?

"But it can't be true," you say. Yes, it really is

It Can't Be True Animals bring you record-breaking facts and amazing stories that you can see for yourself. Eye-popping photos and stunning illustrations show you what the numbers mean, comparing the extraordinary with the familiar. From the coconut crab that grows bigger than a basketball to the Ruppell's vulture that soars higher than an airplane, this unique book for kids shows you what other books only tell you.

Featuring astounding animals from all the main groups - invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals - this is the perfect gift for children who are curious about the animal kingdom.
