Amazing Facts about Australian Marine Life

Welcome to the Steve Parish Amazing Facts range. The series presents informative facts, charts and extraordinary photographs to help you learn about this remarkable continent. This book is packed full of information and you’ll be amazed at how much you learn about Australia’s marine life by dipping into the remarkable facts presented.

This book aims to inspire in our readers a curiosity and thirst to know more about the unique animals that live in our marine environments. Some of the extraordinary creatures in this book may be new to you. Some of them you will no doubt recognise, but may not have considered animals! All of them will surprise you with their curious physiology and incredibly complicated and diverse behaviour. Within these pages you will find colourful corals (using a range of survival strategies to out-compete their neighbours), killer sea stars, cunning cephalopods and a host of wonderful invertebrates (including the ancestors of all vertebrates). Perhaps what you learn from this book will delight you so much that you’ll want to delve deeper into the amazing lives of Australia’s marine creatures.

With great enthusiasm I set out on another incredible adventure of learning and discovery. I hope that, like me, you’ll embark on our discovery of the world of Australian marine life and never cease to be amazed.
