内容简介

The sometimes-deadly, always fascinating order of creepy-crawlies known as reptiles We find snakes & other reptiles in almost every corner of the world, on almost every continent: buried in the dust of deserts & in the leaf litter of rainforest floors, swimming through ocean coral & lake reeds, burrowing in the bushes of our own back yards. Some lizards, turtles, & snakes we adopt as pets - yet we often misunderstand these shy creatures, fearing them for the wrong rasons, failing to see their many benefits to our environment & health. Here is a stunning overview of the rich variety of these mysterious creatures that have caught our imagination, inspired our myths, & enriched our lives since the befinning of time.
