Factual, non-graphic descriptions and photos of natural predator and prey dynamics.

Sensitive Topics

The book deals with life and death in a biological, factual context. Predator and prey relationships are mentioned as a natural part of the life cycle (e.g., baby reptiles being vulnerable). The approach is purely secular and scientific. The resolution for each animal's story is simply the continuation of its species, a realistic and neutral outcome.
