Australia is inhabited by some of the most venomous land and sea creatures in the world and Straun Sutherland is Australia's best-known expert on poisonous creatures, particularly spiders and snakes. In this lavishly illustrated volume, Sutherland describes sixty such creatures, ranging from the Death Adder and the Black House Spider, to the Blue-Ringed Octopus, the Bearded Ghoul (a stinging fish), and the Portuguese Man-of-War. He provides a factual description of each animal, a high-quality four-color photograph to allow for easy identification, line drawings when needed, descriptions of the appropriate first aid for bites or stings, and a map showing its distribution throughout Australia.
