Grouped into thematic chapters – including the Dangerous and Deadly, Unusual Giants and Mini Marvels – in this comprehensive book biologist Doug Mackay-Hope profiles the secret lives of 50 of our most interesting underwater cousins in an insightful and myth-busting study, complete with charming watercolour diagrams and expert insights. Learn about the White-Spotted Pufferfish, Rated 4.5 out of 5.
