All the world record holders from each of the main animal groups, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes and invertebrates.

Find out which marsupial can jump to the ground from heights of up to 30 m, why it's almost impossible to swat a fly, and which frog carries enough poison to kill 20 000 mice.

Stunning colour photographs on every page.
