Encyclopedia of Reptiles, Amphibians & Invertebrates (Hardcover) by Dr. Noel Tait

A complete visual guide. There are more than 13,000 species of reptiles and amphibians living in all parts of the world. In their behavior and physiology, these creatures are as complex as birds and mammals and they are equally well adapted to the astonishingly varied environments they inhabit. Some live underground, others live high in the rainforest canopy. Some glide through the air and others "fly" through water. Some have lost their limbs and slither along the ground: others hop with grace and agility. In size they range from tiny South American frogs no bigger than postage stamps to giant snakes, such as the anaconda. This magnificiently illustrated book celebrates the extraordinary diversity of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. It contains superb photographs, galleries of species illustrations, maps and diagrams. Original. 2006
