About As Large As Life

With 26 habitats to explore and more than 250 animals from the amoeba to the whale, this beautifully illustrated book puts into context the size of all creatures, great and small.

From the tiny amoeba to the mighty blue whale, this beautifully illustrated book marvels at the sheer size of some of the world’s most fascinating creatures. Did you know that a sword-billed hummingbird has a beak longer than its body? A giant anteater’s tongue can extend two feet into a termite mound in pursuit of food? Or that a lion’s
mane sea jelly can grow tentacles as long as three buses? See how the world’s animals measure up and compare them all at once using the large pull-out chart at the back of the book. With 26 habitats to explore, featuring more than 250 animals.
