Discover the remarkable ways Australian animals survive and thrive with Animal Survival, part of the Deadly Science series by Australian Geographic, created with Corey Tutt. From thick winter coats and clever camouflage to a range of extraordinary adaptations developed over thousands of years, this book explores how native animals have evolved to live successfully across Australia's diverse and often demanding environments.

Young readers will uncover fascinating survival strategies while also learning about the deep knowledge Indigenous Australians have held for millennia — observing, celebrating, and protecting native species and their habitats. Blending modern science with Indigenous perspectives, Animal Survival encourages curiosity, scientific thinking, and a genuine respect for the natural world.

Abigail Q. ★★★★★

I bought this for my nephew who's obsessed with wildlife, and the section on how echidnas survive bushfires had him reading aloud to the whole family. The thick winter coat detail for alpine animals made the science really click for him.

Edward ★★★★★

My 10-year-old science lover couldn't put this down—the section on how echidnas survive bushfires was fascinating. The photos are crisp and the explanations are just detailed enough without being overwhelming.

Stella ★★★★★

We bought this for our 8-year-old after a trip to the zoo, and the section on how echidnas use their spines for both defense and insulation has sparked a whole new interest in animal adaptations. The photos are crisp and really help explain the concepts without being too text-heavy.
