Series: Wonders of Wildlife

A book about surprising animal collaborations, proving that it's sometimes (but not always!) better to work together

Often we see animals that live independently and thrive on their own, but what about those who need a helping hand? Discover a whole host of partnerships from across the animal kingdom, with the nature enthusiast and best-selling author Ben Hoare.

Explore cooperative relationships between sea turtles at underwater \""cleaning stations\"" ran by surgeon fish, \""bands of brothers\"" within particular species of big cats, and even cross-species alliances between birds and dolphins that are hungry for a shared meal. Discover how animals and plants depend upon each other to hold their territory, and how even humans have come to develop partnerships with animals all around the world.

Get acquainted with unexpected animal teams around the world, and find out how these groups thrive in the wild as they defend, feed, and plot with each other in order to survive. Presenting these unpredictable discoveries, Ben Hoare's friendly, informative explanations are paired with stunning photographs and charming illustrations to make sure every page captivates the imagination. Animal Partnerships is a book packed full of surprises that you often wouldn't believe!
