Each location brings its own epic challenges - whether it's the first climb of an arctic ice fall in Greenland, the first recorded navigation of a South American river, or the first exploration of the world’s longest cave system in Mexico.

It’s factual and arms the reader with proper facts to avoid them feeling scared of dangerous beasties, instead to respect the diversity and skills of each animal. After leaving Exeter University with a degree in English and Theatre Studies, Steve studied martial arts in Japan attaining his black belt.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! He has presented on the programme 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. And if that wasn't enough, in ‘The Venom Hunter’ he endured the stings of hundreds of bullet ants (the world’s most painful stinging invertebrate) in an initiation ceremony.
