Written as an introduction to the natural history of lizards, this book will help to answer the many questions that both amateur and professional naturalists ask about these animals. The first seven chapters cover the origins, form, function and colour, environment, feeding, defence, reproduction, movement and distribution of lizards - from the tiny, tropical geckos to the huge Komodo dragon. The author also discusses lizards in captivity and their relationship with us, and describes the whole range of the lizard famillies. The book concludes with a chapter on the curious group of burrowing, worm-like creatures, the Amphisbaenians.

Thr highly readable and informative text is beautifully illustrated with line drawings and superb black and white and colour photographs of the spectacularly varied lizard families.
