About this deal

For both professionals and amateurs, the volume offers valuable information about and stunning pictures of these intriguing animals. I have always been a true animal lover, and that means all animals, not just the fluffy and/or cuddly ones like kittens and puppies. 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.

Plus, a complete directory lists all known species of these fascinating reptiles, including venomous snakes such as cobras. He has made ten expeditions to Papua New Guinea since 1986 and between 2009 and 2014 was coleader of a team based out of Victor Valley College, California, conducting the first herpetofaunal survey of Timor-Leste.

He is professor of herpetology at the University of Wolverhampton and he previously spent thirty-three years as curator of reptiles at West Midland Safari Park. It describes all their habitats, behaviors, diets, subspecies, appearances or morphs with full colored photos. Yet, for as many meanings as we attribute to snakes-from fertility and birth to sin and death – the real-life species represent an even wider array of wonders. Mark O'Shea is a herpetologist, television broadcaster, zoologist, author, photographer, lecturer and public speaker, and was the Consultant Curator of Reptiles at West Midland Safari Park in the UK for 33 years.

PT Global Alam Nusantara (GAN) is one of ecosystem restoration concessions in Kampar Peninsula managed by Riau Ecosystem Restoration (RER). Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). In mammals it transports oxygen and food, carries away waste, and contains the white cells that attack invading microbes. It is the first book on these creatures that combines a broad, worldwide sample with full-color, life-size accounts.Unfortunately some of the entries were wrong (wrong photo/snake), and the descriptions were too short, leading to many being quite repetitive. This delightful snake book is part of the Everything You Need to Know series of educational books for children and also includes Everything You Need to Know About Frogs and Everything You Need to Know About Dinosaurs! Conventional methods such as VES have limitations, which was the inability to detect difficult-to-find animals such as freshwater turtles. See how they survive in forests, deserts, and oceans, and how these clever creatures have adapted to live in seemingly inhospitable habitats.
