815 species of amphibian have been described on the African continent -
788 frogs, 23 caecilians and four salamanders. Field Guide to the Frogs
& other Amphibians of Africa is the first guide ever to cover all these
species. It features a brief introduction with tips for handling and
identifying amphibians and a useful illustrated guide to each family
group serves as a first step towards species ID. Species accounts
describe physical features, distribution, habitat, biology,
advertisement calls and conservation status, and are supported by colour
photographs and up-to-date distribution maps. This guide will prove
invaluable to nature lovers, tour guides, students and scientists.
