An in-depth look at the many clever, creative, and crazy ways that animals protect themselves from predators. For many animals, life is a constant battle to stay off a predator's menu. This book explores lots of cunning ways they avoid being eaten. From camouflage and colour-changing, natural armour, playing dead, great escapes, detachable body parts, and impressive ways of fighting back, the range of survival tactics in the natural world is quite astonishing (and sometimes pretty disgusting).
