This book has sections about teeth and claws, and hunters who work together in teams or who hunt alone. We learn about the fastest animals, the stealthiest animals, the ones with the best eyesight, and ones that can mimic plants to fool predators. Each page is full of factoids about amazing animals!

I really liked learning about the African wild dogs, who will sneeze to signal each other that they are ready to hunt. I also loved learning how Peregrine falcons will literally punch their prey with their talons clenched like a fist to stun it before killing it.

However, the book does not always make it clear which factoids are theories and which are backed up by empirical data. It makes me wonder how far the reader can really trust the information when it is not presented clearly. There is a page that says one of the insects evolved millions of years ago. It is worded as if that statement is a fact, but it's really just a theory. One theory among many other theories regarding the origins of the universe.
It seems like every science book that I read these days has this same problem. Stick to the facts, people! Or word the sentence so that it is clear what is theory and what is fact.

I really loved the layout of the pages in this book. There are beautiful illustrations of each animal, and we get a few paragraphs about what makes that animal special. It's an easy and engaging read!
