Young Reed: Snakes, Lizards, Crocs and Turtles of Australia

Product Description

Australia has a greater variety of reptiles than most other places in the world - more than 800 different species. From the burning hot desert sands to the windswept, snowy Tasmanian mountains, and even in your garden and beside the local creek, reptiles thrive in our most extreme environments. Reptiles have backbones and scale-covered skin. They lay eggs on land, or give birth to live young that look like small versions of their parents. And they are 'cold-blooded': they can't make heat like us, and they need to get warm. Australian reptiles include crocodiles, turtles, lizards an snakes.
