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 symbiotic relationships between corals and their bacteria, “bands of brothers” within particular species of big cats, and even cross-species alliances between birds and badgers that are hungry for a shared meal! 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 full of surprises, allowing you to explore the unusual stories of animals unlike any others.
