Deadly Science: Animal Adaptations

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.
