In the natural world, it benefits to have a friend. Teamwork, or an unexpected partner, could make all the difference to survival - whether it's warding off predators, removing parasites or aiding reproduction.
This beautifully illustrated title explores organisms that have learnt to adapt and co-exist in the wild.

Stunning illustrations by Georgina Taylor capture these astonishing moments in the wild. The ideal gift for nature lovers.
