Size: 64x8x120; 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 behavioral habits. Each entry is accompanied by color photographs and, where appropriate, distribution maps. Gerry Swan developed an interest in reptiles at an early age, keeping geckos while in school. Presently an Associate of the Australian Museum and editor of the journal Herpetofauna, Gerry is the author of several books and spends much of his time as a reptile consultant and author.
