Blue-ringed octopi, stony corals, sea jellies, stonefish, lionfish, poison-fanged blennies, stingrays, cone snails, blind remipedes, fire urchins--you can choose your poison in the ocean. Venoms are often but not always defensive weapons. The banded sea krait, an aquatic snake, wriggles into undersea caves to prey on vicious moray eels, killing them with one of the world's most deadly neurotoxins, which it injects through fangs that resemble hypodermic needles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Erickson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tilbury House Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780884485513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/21\/2018 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2019 pg. 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2019 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eErickson, Paul:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Writer, photographer, and video producer \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Erickson\u003c\/strong\u003e creates exhibits, websites, guides, and videos for zoos, museums, and aquariums including the \u003cem\u003eNew England Aquarium\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eHouston Zoo, Zoo Miami, the Friends of the Los Angeles River, the Museum of Science and Discovery\u003c\/em\u003e, and many others.
