Dive down and discover the world's strangest, scariest and most awe-inspiring sea creatures!
Dive down if you dare and discover the world's strangest, scariest, and most magnificent sea creatures in this breathtaking gift book from the University of Cambridge and Nosy Crow!
Did you know there is a place on Earth that's hardly been explored at all? A place with near-freezing temperatures, crushing water pressure, and total darkness? Discover a magnificent menagerie of monsters that lurk deep down in our oceans - from sharks that can live for five centuries, to fish with teeth so long they can't close their mouths, to jellies that glow and flash in startling colours.
Discover Anglerfish, Giant Squid, Goblin Sharks, Coffinfish, the Barreleye, and many, many more amazing creatures in this stunningly illustrated gift book that will delight, surprise, and inspire on every page.
With awe-inspiring artwork from Kaley McKean, featuring special neon inks, and engaging text by Matt Ralphs, Beasts from the Deep was created in consultation with marine biologist Dr Helen Scales alongside Dr Roz Wade from the Museum of Zoology, University of Cambridge.
