The first-ever comprehensive guide to the amphibians and reptiles of Costa Rica, this book contains detailed descriptions of the majority of the country's species, along with descriptions of orders and families. Species descriptions and color photographs enable the reader to identify animals and to distinguish between similar-looking species. This guide also provides a wealth of natural history information about members of all orders of the Costa Rican herpetofauna: caecilians, salamanders, frogs and toads, crocodilians, turtles and lizards and snakes. In addition to 86 color pages and 100 black-and-white plates, A Guide to Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica also includes a complete species list, an illustrated glossary, and an exhaustive bibiography. Sections called “Of Special Interest” provide readers with expanded treatment of selected topics.Twan Leenders, a naturalist, biologist, and nature photographer, graduated from the University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands, before embarking on many years of field investigation and research in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras.
