With a foreword by Richard Dawkins and inspired by the BAFTA award-winning Channel 4 TV series, this exploration delves into the anatomy of the largest animals on Earth, revealing their inner workings like never before. The book combines dissection, CGI, and wildlife photography to illustrate how millions of years of evolution have shaped these remarkable creatures. It presents natural history from a unique perspective, inviting readers to join a team of scientists and anatomical experts, including veterinary scientist Mark Evans, anatomist Joy Reidenberg, science presenter Simon Watt, and Richard Dawkins. Together, they uncover the secrets behind extraordinary beasts, addressing intriguing questions such as why giraffes don’t faint despite their height, the chewing limitations of crocodiles despite their strong bite, and the unique anatomy of giant squids with three hearts. By engaging with these animals, the team reveals how evolution by natural selection has influenced the biology of elephants, sharks, giraffes, big cats, hippos, crocodiles, camels, whales, kangaroos, and more. This interactive approach invites readers to explore the anatomy of these magnificent animals through single- and double-page gatefolds, providing a captivating alternative to traditional natural history.
