Description
Using a variety of sources, including newspapers and autobiographies, this anthology covers attacks on humans by animals of astonishing variety from around the world. If you're on a cruise, tramping through a rainforest or holidaying in an exotic location, you are constantly being watched. No matter where you are, somewhere close by a creature is lurking, stalking and eyeing your every move. From killer bees to rogue elephants, fire ants and sharks to snakes, crocodiles and grizzlies - all have taken a bite, or even worse. Survivors recall terrifying ordeals while hunters and other witnesses describe the final bloody moments of victims and their killers, including; the British climber alone in the mountain wilderness who was pursued for days by a vengeful bear; the African traveller's encounter with a very large crocodile; and a member of the Royal Family's gory meeting with a shark in the Caribbean.
