This volume examines the intriguing aspects of all kinds of reptiles.
You will learn how their bodies work and where they live, and discover
amazing facts about their habits, life cycles, survival skills and
ancestors. Did you know that a chameleon's tongue is so long that it can
be twice the length of its entire body, or that a large snake may have
up to 400 bones in its spine? 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.
