Packed with thousands of fascinating facts and all the latest discoveries, it features world record holders from each of the animal groups including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes and invertebrates.

Find out which marsupial can jump to the ground from heights of up to 30m (100 ft), why it’s almost impossible to swat a fly, and which small, yet frightening frog carries enough poison to kill 20,000 mice.

With stunning photographs and intriguing entries, Natural History Museum Animal Records is a celebration of creatures both great and small that will appeal to all the family.
