"Get ready to sink your fangs into the hidden worlds of reptiles with leading reptile scientist and National Geographic Explorer Dr. Ruchira Somaweera as your guide! Between the pages of this book, readers will get up close and personal with the coolest cold-blooded animals ever. From lizards to snakes, turtles to crocodiles, something called a tuatara, and even enormous prehistoric reptiles (think: real-life sea monsters!), they'll discover what makes a reptile a reptile, how these different species live, hunt, hide, raise their young, and what wild adaptations they have that make them so unique and, well, a little bit strange at times!"-- Provided by publisher.
