You will learn how their bodies work and where they live, and discover amazing facts about their habits, life cycles, survival skills and ancestors. Did you know that a chameleon's tongue is so long that it can be twice the length of its entire body, or that a large snake may have up to 400 bones in its spine? Close-up photographs reveal the advantages of powerful jaws and sharp teeth, how a hungry crocodile hunts down its lunch, how some lizards can grow new tails, and much more. |
