Description
Most living carnivorous marsupials lead a secretive and solitary existence. From tiny insect eaters to the formidable Tasmanian Devil, Secret Lives of Carnivorous Marsupials offers rare insight into the history and habits of these creatures. It delves into their discovery by intrepid explorers and scientists, revealing their unique life cycles and incredible ways of hunting prey.
Secret Lives of Carnivorous Marsupials contains a guide to the world's 136 living species of carnivorous marsupials and is packed with never-before-seen photos. The topics of biogeography, relationships, and conservation are also covered in detail. Readers are taken on a journey through remote Australia, the Americas, and the dark, mysterious New Guinea—some of the last truly wild places on Earth.
The book describes frenzied mating sessions, minuscule mammals that catch prey far larger than themselves, and extinct predators including marsupial lions, wolves, and even sabre-toothed kangaroos.
