X Venture Xplorers Kingdom Of Animals 3

When their relaxing sea vacation is interrupted, Jake, Sherry, Kwame and the rest of Dr. Darwin’s X-Venture X-plorers head under the sea to find out all about creatures from the deep. And under the sea, sharks are king. But the sharks are not the apex predator they once were, illegal fishing is harming their lives and habitat. Learn about the various species of sharks, tooth by tooth, and find out who would win in a hypothetical battle between fishes, and who would end up as chum. Each comics chapter is followed by an informative prose chapter, filled with exciting facts and illustrations about the real-life creatures featured in the comics.

Plunged way back into the past, Rain, Emily, and the rest of the Dinosaur Explorers, continue to make their way back to the present, but first they must take the plunge and submerge themselves into the prehistoric oceans.

Here they must dodge carnivorous ancient dolphins, elude massive crocodile creatures, and essentially do their best to survive. But it’s also possible that they may even find some undersea friends. One thing is for certain, the Dinosaur Explorers are in way over their heads! Will they sink or swim?
