Product Information

Registered office address: Unit 34 Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE5 3EF. Other series included ‘Expedition Alaska’, where he was almost swallowed by humpback whales and was swept into the guts of a glacier, ‘Wilderness St Kilda’, ‘Extreme Britain – Caves’, ‘Springwatch Trackers’ and Nature Reports for the One Show. I think this book can be very useful in a way because imagine that your in a forest and you spot a animal thats in the book.

Each creature has a two page spread with photos and details listing why they made it onto the list, some quite surprising, others you would expect. It is full of exciting close up encounters with a plethora of species from the Brown Bear to the Mantis Shrimp, the Black Mamba to the Alligator Snapping Turtle. I have so many incredible adventures, tall tales and animal anecdotes from my lifetime travelling the world, having been to a hundred countries in every conceivable environment.He has presented on Earth Pulse on the National Geographic channel, as well as the popular BBC children's' series The Really Wild Show and the primetime BBC series The One Show and the Expedition series, where he visited remote places such as Guyana, Alaska, St Kilda and Borneo. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. He loves that he recognises the animals from the show and tells me what he remembers from the show, and is enjoying finding out other facts about each animal. National Geographic Channel International bought the resultant video and Steve was taken on as ‘Adventurer in Residence’, producing, filming and presenting adventure and natural history programmes.

Soon he was carrying business cards from National Geographic which described him as their ‘Adventurer in Residence’. He has just six months to travel six continents and find 60 of the deadliest creatures on the planet for the 26-part Children's BBC series of the same name which will air on BBC1 and the CBBC Channel. We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there is something for every literary palate.Whilst Steve Backshall appears in many of the pictures they have been chosen to show off the animal and not Steve, so mums hoping there will be a topless picture of Steve swimming with the hippo will be disappointed! Packed with fascinating facts and drawing on Steve's own amazing experiences, this is the Deadly guide to mammals for St. Stunning colour photographs and exciting accounts of Steve's own encounters with some of these animals bring the world of natural venom alive He also looks at the science of natural toxins, and at how natural venoms are increasingly used in medicine and for the treatment of chronic disease in humans.

The following three years were awash with wildlife highlights; sharing a beach with 75,000 nesting olive ridley turtles, having a baby mountain gorilla take him by the hand and having a red-eyed tree frog leap into his face. This book describes famous killers such as the African Cheetah, the Neotropical Piranha and the North American Grizzly Bear.After graduating from university, Steve began writing for the Rough Guides travel series, which then led to television work. In ‘Lost Land of the Jaguar’ he made the first ascent of Mount Upuigma in Venezuela, slept on the vertical cliff face and found unknown species of animals on the summit. Using cunning, cutting-edge technology and pure daring, they will defeat their enemy – once and for all. The book is aimed at children about the age of 10 and above, as they will benefit most from being able to read it, though any person who enjoys this sort of interest in creatures that can kill you will get some enjoyment from it.
