| Summary |
With formidable features aplenty, many creatures in the animal kingdom come packing a pretty terrible - and terrifying - reputation. But do they really deserve it? Meet real-world vampires, devils, giants and monsters. (Don't forget the dragon!) Learn which creature shoots out its own blood in self-defence. Gruesome. And discover a stone you (really, really) don't want to step on. |
