Summary: To survive in the wild, all animals need a natural form of defence against predators. Using their teeth, claws, horns and antlers to defend, fight and hunt, these incredibly powerful creatures do whatever it takes to stay alive. Join twelve-year-old author James Ryan as he shares a bunch of surprising, cool and occasionally gross facts with us about some of nature's most awesome animals and their built-in weapons. (Publisher)
