Deadly Science – Animal Survival invites young readers to explore the incredible ways animals adapt and respond to the challenges of life in the wild. From finding food and avoiding predators to coping with harsh climates and changing environments, survival is at the heart of every living creature’s daily existence. This engaging title blends scientific discovery with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge, offering students a uniquely Australian perspective on how animals thrive in diverse ecosystems. Through observation, experimentation, and storytelling, children learn how behaviour, physical traits and environmental awareness help animals endure droughts, bushfires, predators, and more. Aboriginal peoples have long understood the survival strategies of Australia’s fauna, using traditional ecological knowledge to live in balance with nature. This book highlights that wisdom while encouraging students to explore their environment, ask big questions and think critically about life on Earth. Animal Survival is an essential resource for connecting biology and culture in any learning setting.
