raccoons--have become increasingly commonplace. But, wait, what are the
rules for facing a moose up close? Do you run from a coyote or stand
your ground? How deadly, really, are black widow spiders, rattlesnakes,
and sharks? Packed with expert tips, fascinating animal facts, and
harrowing true tales, Look Big is a must-have survival guide for
outdoor, urban, and suburban adventurers alike. If you have ever feared
the approach of a grizzly, the spray of a skunk, or an army of
cockroaches in the kitchen, this book is for you.
