Animal fights

DEFENCE OR ATTACK? SURVIVING IS THE ONLY AIM

From the legionary ants that attack in armies capable of creating living bridges and rafts, to the giraffes that beat each other’s necks, to the frynosoma that squirts blood from its eyes: animals have nothing to envy to video games and superheroes when it comes to assault technique and defence against predators and dangers. This illustrated book tells animals from a very particular point of view: that of fighting and contention.

The book proceeds by type of action, each time illustrating the most fascinating one, while also recounting various other examples freely chosen from animals around the world.

So here you find a kaleidoscope of incredibly ingenious tactics and strategies that are adopted every day by the tiniest insects as well as the largest mammals, from exotic animals far away from us to those we can find in our gardens: real wars to the last drop of blood that, unlike human ones, only serve the survival of their own species.
