"Based on a true account, Deepsea Whale Rescue brings to life the story of a mother whale's courageous defence of her calf against attack by a pod of killer whales. But once mother and calf are safe, divers watching from a nearby launch can see the adult whale has another problem, this one caused by humans: life-threatening entanglement in nylon ropes."

From the break of dawn to nightfall, the tuart is not as it appears. Leaves and bark, trunk and branches - all are places of pretence, traps and trickery. Find out what surprise a "moon crater" might hide and why a bullseye borer drills holes; how a crab spider goes shopping and a jewel beetle becomes a seedpod. (Source: Trove)
