Beast fights

From the legionary ants that attack in armies capable of creating living bridges and rafts, to the giraffes that beat each other’s necks, to the frynosoma that squirts blood from its eyes: animals have nothing to envy to video games and superheroes when it comes to assault technique and defence against predators and dangers.

This illustrated book tells animals from a very particular point of view: that of fighting and contention.

The book proceeds by type of action, each time illustrating the most fascinating one, while also recounting various other examples freely chosen from animals around the world.

So here you find a kaleidoscope of incredibly ingenious tactics and strategies that are adopted every day by the tiniest insects as well as the largest mammals, from exotic animals far away from us to those we can find in our gardens: real wars to the last drop of blood that, unlike human ones, only serve the survival of their own species.

ACTIONS: Defence strategies – armies – escaping – stingers – wrestling or boxing – duel challenge – electric shocks – deadly traps – combat outfits – scare tactics – chemical weapons – renaissance courtroom poisons – camouflage suits – armour and tank

野兽之战

从能组成活体桥梁、船筏进行攻击的蚂蚁军团，到用脖子互相搏斗的长颈鹿，再到能从眼睛里喷射血液的角蜥，在面对捕食者或危险时，动物们的攻防本领一点也不比电子游戏或超级英雄逊色！

这本图文并茂的书，以战斗与竞争的独特视角讲述动物的世界。

全书按行为类型分类，每章聚焦一种最引人入胜的战斗方式，并辅以来自全球不同动物的多个精选实例。

在这本书中，你将看到一个如万花筒般缤纷多彩的动物世界，充满令人惊叹的精妙战术与生存策略。这些技巧每天都在各种生物中上演，从最微小的昆虫到体型庞大的哺乳动物，从远离我们的外来生物到我们花园中常见的生物，它们血战到底。但与人类战争不同的是，它们战斗仅仅是为了自身物种的生存。
