Beskrivelse af Incredible Lizards
This book is a celebration of lizard-hood. It salutes a diversity of form
and function unparalleled among terrestrial vertebrates, from apex
predators capable of swallowing goats to limbless subterranean
insectivores. In equal measure they thrive in a tropical paradise, a
waterless terrain so bleak one wonders how anything survives, and the human
domain, including domestic gardens and the ruins of past civilizations The
book ventures into how lizards exploit those disparate places, and author
and photographer Steve Wilson's attempts to document them around the world.
This book is born from journeys of discovery by the author. Quests for
lizards and other reptiles have taken him to some of the world's
extraordinary biodiversity hot-spots in Borneo, Madagascar, Costa Rica and
the Galapagos Islands. He has also crisscrossed his native Australia many
times, searching for lizards in deserts, rainforests and even peoples' back
yards. From mighty Komodo Dragons in Indonesia to tiny anoles in the
Americas, every lizard has a tale to tell, making this a must-read title
for anyone who is passionate about reptiles or about wildlife in general.
