This review is from: Frogs & Toads of the World (Of the World Series) (Paperback)
This book covers almost every aspect of anuran biology. Chapters include physiology, defence, food and feeding, reproduction, life-histories, distribution and families of frogs. Huge amount of colour and black and white photographs that aid in the comprehension of the topics being discussed. Informative yet a breeze to read. Highly Recommended!
