A visual field guide to reptiles

Organized around how reptiles sense, move, and adapt, this picture-led reference ranges from snakes and lizards to crocodiles and turtles. Photographs and diagrams accompany details about behaviors and physical traits, including crocodiles caring for their young, lizards storing fat in their tails, and chameleons moving their eyes. The revised edition adds updated information, new images, and first-hand accounts from experts. Its broad survey connects familiar questions about camouflage and movement with less commonly discussed topics, such as venom milking and crocodiles swallowing stones.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children aged 9 and up interested in reptiles and animal behavior

This beautifully illustrated guide for kids aged 9+ gives an insight into how crocodiles look after their young, how lizards store fat in their tails, and how chameleons swivel their eyes.
