5.0 out of 5 stars Take a closer look at snakes, 4 Feb 2003
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Snakes (Paperback)
This is a brilliant book on everything you could possibly want to know about snakes complete with stunning pictures showing the great diversity of snake species despite the 'simple' body form. It gives in depth details about their debatable evolution, breeding, feeding habits, the different and surprising habitats they have managed to inhabit from the sea snakes, the vipers to the fascinating flying snake. This book includes detailed diagrams of a snakes internal structure and their surprisingly varied methods of locomotion and beautiful representations of the different types of jaws they posess from those without fangs to the more advanced fangs of the vipers. All of their senses are investigated in detail as are their methods of evading predators and catching their prey, and their repoduction as well as a quick referance on the families of snakes. Many sections are enhanced with specific case studeies such as the Boas of Round Island and the trouble caused by the accidental introduction of the brown tree snake on Guam. A must for anyone who wants to know more about these amazing animals, although it may be too in depth for someone without previous knowledge of snakes.
