Drawing on their lifelong interest in reptiles and amphibians, naturalists have brought together a wealth of information on the fascinating reptiles and frogs of the Perth area. In this region you may find any one of 16 species of lizards and 24 of snakes. This comprehensive, easy-to-use guide tells the reader: how to differentiate between a Gwardar and a Dugite; that a Marbled Burrowing Frog has a noise like an outboard motor; and that snakes have a transparent spectacle like a contact lens over the eye. A Guide to the Reptiles and Frogs of the Perth Region is a book for nature lovers, bushwalkers, gardeners and students. Small enough to put in a backpack for instant reference, it can also be read at leisure.
