A Photographic Guide to Reptiles & Amphibians of New Zealand

Description

Everyone has heard of the tuatara, New Zealand’s unique ‘living dinosaur’; but equally fascinating, if less well known, are the country’s other reptiles. There are more than 65 species of lizards (including skinks and geckos), frogs and other reptiles and amphibians native to New Zealand. Scientists such as author Tony Jewell are still discovering new species and subspecies today. These are shown in A Photographic Guide to Reptiles & Amphibians of New Zealand.

Tony covers all the known species from Northland to the far south. In its latest reprint, this compact photo guide has been revised and updated to include three new species.

Tony’s text is backed up by Rod’s outstanding photographs of their many geographic colour variants. Readers will be equipped to identify almost any specimen encountered in the wild. This is a groundbreaking handbook and a superb aid for natural history enthusiasts, trampers and educationalists.
