University of Cambridge: Beasts from the Deep
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, barreleyes 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 and engaging text by Matt Ralphs, created in consultation with marine biologist Dr Helen Scales alongside Dr Roz Wade from the Museum of Zoology, University of Cambridge. Special neon inks throughout, high-quality, sustainable paper and a multi-embossed cover make this the perfect gift for any child with an interest in marine biology and zoology.
With its thin body and dozens of spindly legs, the graceful gossamer worm looks like a prehistoric fossil brought to life. It swims with a smooth flowing motion, swerving its long body from side to side, and rhythmically paddling its two rows of legs. This method allows it to swim forwards and backwards and make swift turns - perfect for escaping attack and catching prey.
