Description
From the lowly amoeba to the mighty blue whale, this beautifully illustrated book marvels at the different sizes of creatures great and small.
As Large As Life features 26 habitats to explore, showcasing more than 250 animals.
Did you know that a sword-billed hummingbird has a beak longer than its body, that a giant anteater's tongue can delve two feet into a termite mound in pursuit of food, or that a lion's mane jellyfish can grow tentacles as long as three buses?
See how the most sublime animals on the planet size up and compare them all in one go using the enormous fold-out chart at the back of the book.
