Summary	Did you know that the humble marmot is responsible for more than one billion human deaths? Or that it's possible to be bitten by a snake's head for up to an hour after it's been decapitated? On the flip side, for every person bitten by a shark each year, 25 people are bitten by New Yorkers. It seems that truth sometimes is stranger than fiction! These facts and many more appear in this fascinating tribute to our world's 'deadly' wildlife. At its heart, however, this book makes a passionate plea for us to learn to better cohabit with our fellow residents of planet Earth.
