From the exploding social media account with 7+ million followers comes a visual celebration of nature at its rawest, featuring the deadliest and toughest animals on Earth and what it really takes to survive. From the viral Instagram account @natureismetal, discover the most badass animals on the planet with this no-holds-barred celebration of nature at its most head-bangingly metal. Packed with dramatic—and utterly brutal—photographs and eye-popping biological info on more than 75 species that are not to be messed with, Nature Is Metal is a raw and unforgiving celebration of deadly hunting techniques, ingenious survival tactics, and much more. Jewel wasps that stab and zombify prey, then bury their victims alive as a living pantry for their hatching eggs. Bronzeback snakes that literally fly through the jungle air to make their attack. Sandbox trees that blast poisonous, shrapnel-like bark at up to 160 mph. With sections separated ecosystems such as forests, savannas, and oceans—plus a face-melting section on natural phenomena like volcanic lightning and avalanches—this is anything but your touchy-feely nature book. Welcome to the pit—try not to get kicked in the face!
