  How did reptiles and amphibians evolve? Where did they originate? What function does their skin serve? What is their third eye and what does it do? From frogs, snakes and lizards to turtles, tortoises and iguanas, this handbook reveals the world of these diverse species. The book contains discussions on the anatomy, evolution, behaviour and habitats of reptilian and amphibian families. From the miracle of metamorphosis to homing and migration; from defence and communication to movement and temperature regulation, this handbook explains everything, in addition to covering the practical aspects of studying and caring for these animals. It includes special sidebars and double-page features plus a glossary and appendix of sources for clubs, societies and organizations.
