Apex Predators

The World’s Deadliest Hunters, Past and Present

By Steve Jenkins

What does it take to be “top dog?” In this illustrated exploration of the animal kingdom, Caldecott Honor winner Steve Jenkins introduces readers to some of the most powerful predators in history, from the Tyrannosaurus rex to the African Siberian tiger.

Using his signature cut paper art style, Jenkins illustrates how these animals dominate their different ecosystems using speed, strength, and even cooperation and cunning.

Take a trip through history and discover apex predators both past and present, from the earliest sea creatures to the modern African lion and giant freshwater ray, which can grow to over fifteen feet.
