The study of reptiles is a fascinating subject: some, like the chameleon, are able to change colour at will, while others move in unusual ways, such as the sidewinder snakes. They vary from tiny lizards to the large and fierce Komodo dragon, capable of devouring large mammals. Many are poisonous but most reptiles, rather than attack, prefer a quiet life and avoid human contact whenever they can. In this book, you can discover the secret world of the reptiles that slither, crawl and climb in the natural world, often unknown to their human neighbours. With a fascinating and informed text, illustrated throughout with stunning colour photographs, this comprehensive volume is the perfect reference for anyone with an interest in the natural world..
