World's Weirdest Sharks
From the Series Wild World of Sharks
Chances are, when you think of sharks, it’s the great white or hammerhead that swim into view! But the world’s oceans hold around 500 different species of sharks, and some are extremely bizarre. Check out sharks with strong fins used to crawl on land, a whip-like tail to stun fish, a saw-like snout, and cunning seaweed camouflage. Meet the owners of these cool features and find out how they use them. Superb photographs and action-packed text take you down to the depths to view an array of fascinating but rarely seen creatures.
