SHARKS: Haynes Pocket Manual

On deep blue or black glossy pages, superb photographs of 46 sharks loom from the depths with their beady eyes and sharp teeth, fins and gills. Some are easily recognisable like the Great Hammerhead or the Goblin shark with its pinkish white teeth, very long tail, rounded fins and large sword-like extended snout. It is harmless to humans. There are fact boxes and statistics giving common name, family, size at birth, maximum size and weight, maturity for males and females, reproduction, litter size where known, food eaten like fish and squid and maybe also crustaceans, top speed, teeth count and depth. There is a cookie-cutter shark, a Caribbean reef shark, and for each a diver is pictured in silhouette alongside a silhouette of the shark itself in this superb A-Z directory of 46 of the most astonishing marine creatures. Ages seven to adult, colour softback.
