X-VENTURE XPLORERS HC (2025)

"An educational exploration of the animal kingdom! Lions and Tigers normally don't cross paths in the wild because they live in different habitats. Who is to say for sure who would win in a battle of these big cats? Under the guidance of Dr. Darwin and his faithful assistant Smith, a young group of researches, Sherry, Jake, Bean, Louis, Tazen, and Kwame, scour the globe for the perfect specimens to test their hypothesis. But if they aren't careful, the fact hunters will become the hunted by mealtime! Dynamic action is supported by informative diagrams and studies of the top members of the feline family (felidae)."

The Xventure Explorers can't bear going ape! Jake and his worried zoology exploration team heads to Sumatra to find their new teammate Tazan is missing. At the same time, a cadre of chimpanzees show up in Yellowstone National Park! Pandas and sloth bears and spider monkeys all over the world are acting strange and aggressive...some serious monkey business is surely afoot! Join the Xventures Explorers as they discover who would win in a clash between bears and gorillas and follow the biological clues to locate their lost friend. A fun action-oriented way to learn about bears and monkeys!

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 crea-tures featured in the comics.
