Full Description
This text is intended for readers who do not know anything about snakes and other reptiles, but would like to find out about them. The book introduces all major reptile groups including snakes, crocodiles, turtles and lizards, with an emphasis on those species that the amateur naturalist and nature-lover is most likely to see. Information is organized simply, with individual species or group entries describing key characteristics - where they are found, food requirements and behavioural habits. Each entry is accompanied by colour photographs and, where appropriate, distribution maps. A key feature of the text is the "gee whiz" spreads which answer many of the most commonly asked questions about why snakes and other reptiles do what they do, revealing interesting facts and practical information for the amateur enthusiast. In addition, fact panels interspersed througout the book highlight surprising snippets of information. The aim of the book is to heighten the reader's interest in the natural world.NER(01): AU NZ
