Discover how Australian animals survive and thrive in some of the world's toughest environments with Animal Adaptations, part of the Deadly Science series by Australian Geographic, created with Corey Tutt. From thick winter coats and camouflage to clever ways of conserving water, this book explores the remarkable features animals have developed to live successfully in their habitats.

Focusing on Australian species, the book also recognises the deep knowledge Indigenous Australians have held for thousands of years, observing, understanding, and protecting native animals and their environments. Designed to inspire curiosity and scientific thinking, Animal Adaptations blends modern science with Indigenous perspectives, making it an engaging and meaningful resource for young learners.

Chloe U. ★★★★★

My 9-year-old kept pointing out facts about thorny devils and desert frogs long after we finished reading. The photos of Australian animals in extreme habitats are stunning, and the text is broken up enough for a reluctant reader to stay engaged.

Henry E. ★★★★★

My 8-year-old was fascinated by the detailed survival strategies, like how thorny devils collect water through their skin. The photos are incredibly vivid and make each adaptation easy to understand. It's quickly become her new favorite bedtime read.

Zoe ★★★★★

My nephew couldn't stop talking about how crocodiles change their hunting methods depending on the season after we read this together. The photos are incredibly clear and really help explain each adaptation.
