Description: "A vivid and breathtaking look at the savagery of daily life in the animal kingdom, Deadly Instinct is magnificently illustrated with award-winning photographs drawn exclusively from the National Geographic Image Collection. Telling its stories through fast-moving text and candid interviews with renowned wildlife photographers, Deadly Instinct examines the relationship between predator and prey, mate and rival, subject and photographer, life and death. Remarkable shots capture heart-stopping moments in the timeless battle for sustenance and survival. Edgy narrative and brutally realistic scenes target today's readers and viewers. Throughout, the content reflects current knowledge in the field of wildlife science. The book is a key tie-in to the NATGEO WILD!
