| Description: |
In this discussion of the lizards of the world, the author looks at form and function, environment, food and feeding, defence, reproduction, distribution and habitat. It is aimed at serious amateurs, hobbyists and colleges. |
| Synopsis: |
Though lizards may look like miniature dinosaurs, their lineage isn't so simple. Find out about the different families they've broken into -- gekkos, iguanas, and skinks -- and their anatomical structure from their longer and stronger hind legs, to the tails that help them balance, to their scaly bodies. Close-up shots, many in color, capture countless details from the flying gecko's adhesive toe pads and webbed feet; the chameleon's coiled, prehensile tail; the iguanas dorsal crest; the gila monster's purplish tongue; and the Australian frilled lizard's neck ruff. |
