Summary
Details

Throughout human history gladiators have fought in various arenas for the enjoyment of others. Yet even the greatest of human champions would last mere seconds against some of nature's nightmares. Few people would fail to recognise the killing capability of a great white shark. However, is it without peer? Does it have anything to fear from any of the ocean's other predators? Similarly, few people would doubt the killing capability of the legendary Tyrannosaurus rex, but could it eat any dinosaur it came across? If it had lived in another place and at another time, would T. Rex have ended up being lunch for something else? Predator Deathmatch is the first book ever to study apex predators and actually pose the question of who is/was the ultimate predator by pitting them against each other. The author has carefully profiled each contender with a mixture of historical data, information from the fossil record and current observations of wild animal behaviour. He whets our appetites with a big fight build-up prior to a fictional description of the clash itself between two apex predators. Clashes include Great White Shark vs. Killer Whale, Polar Bear vs. Siberian Tiger and T. Rex vs. the prehistoric Supercroc, to name but a few. Each chapter presents the available facts and then opines to settle the score. Informative, educational and thoroughly entertaining, Predator Deathmatch presents the reader with the facts, the myths, and the conjecture on these mighty predators. Forget Muhammad Ali; open the page and find out who really is the greatest of all time!
