Beschreibung

The definitive guide to the reptiles of East Africa

East Africa is home to a remarkable assemblage of reptiles, from crocodiles and chameleons to turtles and tortoises, lizards, worm-lizards, and a stunning array of snakes. The region is a true herpetological hot-spot.

Now in its second edition and written by an internationally respected team of herpetologists, this is the definitive field guide to these animals. With concise identification text, detailed maps and packed with photography, this book includes every one of the 500 species in East Africa, covering the countries of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. All species accounts are accompanied by an accurate range map.

Comprehensive and authoritative, Field Guide to East African Reptiles is an essential tool for all naturalists, conservationists, educators, field workers, medical personnel and students in the region.
