The Ultimate Book of Snakes and Reptiles
by Barbara Taylor (Author)
This book examines the intriguing aspects of all kinds of reptiles. You will learn how their bodies work and where they live, and discover amazing facts about their habits, life cycles, survival skills and ancestors. Did you know that a chameleon's tongue is so long that it can be twice the length of its entire body, or that a large snake may have up to 400 bones in its spine? Close-up photographs reveal the advantages of powerful jaws and sharp teeth, how a hungry crocodile hunts down its lunch, how some lizards can grow new tails, and much more. Illustrated throughout with fabulous wildlife photographs and illustrations which show a reptile's view of the world, this is an ideal reference for 8- to 12-year olds.
