In six chapters, the book looks at snakes, sharks, bears, lizards,birds, and tarantulas. We are introduced to such formidable creatures as the whale shark, more than 40 feet from head to tail; the SouthAmerican anaconda, 20 feet long, 3 feet wide, and weighing in at 500 pounds (sheep, pigs, even crocodiles are all vulnerable to attack) ; and the Goliath tarantula: hairy and venomous, it embodies all that isterrifying about spiders.
