With abundant black-and-white photographs, colorful descriptions, journal notes from the field, and excerpts from the literature, their personalized natural history emphasizes amphibians observed in the wild.

Accounts of more than 100 species and subspecies cover such topics as common and scientific names, range, habitat, size, and general appearance, as well as color, structure, voice, and breeding. Separate keys are given for secondary sexual characteristics, eggs, tadpoles, families, and species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rainforest Family and Those Terrible Toads takes place in Australia's Lamington National Park. Two children named Alec and Philippa become lost in the park's rainforest, but are soon comforted by an extremely small Koori warrior named Wargunya. He tells them a story about the time the rainforest was invaded by a tribe of cane toads led by the toad king, Bufo; and how Wargunya tried to trick some animals into scaring the toads away. His first efforts fail, so the small warrior consults a wise koala called Klyma, who advises him with a better plan. This time Wargunya enlists all of the animals in a common goal: Get rid of Those Terrible Toads! The plan succeeds and the cane toads are vanquished. The children are then found by their parents, just before the warrior is about to tell them how he became so tiny. Alec and Philippa excitedly tell all about their adventure, but their parents don't believe them. As the family exits the rainforest, Wargunya sadly watches his new friends leave. In this first book of a series, Wargunya got rid of a load of toads. Watch for the sequel!

Download or read book The Book of Animal Ignorance written by John Mitchinson and published by Crown Archetype. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fast on the heels of the New York Times bestseller The Book of General Ignorance comes The Book of Animal Ignorance, a fun, fact-filled bestiary that is sure to delight animal lovers everywhere. Arranged alphabetically from aardvark to worm, here are one hundred of the most interesting members of the animal kingdom explained, dissected, and illustrated, with the trademark wit and wisdom of John Lloyd and John Mitchinson. Did you know, for instance, that • when a young albatross takes wing, it may stay aloft for ten years • vampire bat saliva—unsurprisingly, when you think about it—is the source of the world’s most powerful blood thinning drug, appropriately called draculin • bombardier beetles fire a boiling chemical spray out of their rears at 300 pulses per second • a bald eagle’s feathers weigh twice as much as its bones • a giant tortoise recently died at the documented age of 255 • octopuses are dexterous enough to unscrew tops from jars • spider silk is so light that a strand long enough to circle the world would weigh as much as a bar of soap? So meet the water bears that can live in suspension for hundreds of years, the parasite carried by your cat that makes men grumpy and women promiscuous, and the woodlouse that drinks through its bottom. Marvel at elephants that walk on tiptoe, pigs that shine in the dark, and woodpeckers that have ears on the ends of their tongues. If you still think a pangolin is a musical instrument, that hyenas are dogs, or that sheep are pointless and stupid, The Book of Animal Ignorance has arrived just in time.
Download or read book Threatened and Recently Extinct Vertebrates of the World written by Matthew Richardson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 2214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Habitat loss and degradation are currently the main anthropogenic causes of species extinctions. The root cause is human overpopulation. This unique volume provides, for the very first time, a comprehensive overview of all threatened and recently extinct mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes within the context of their locations and habitats. The approach takes a systematic examination of each biogeographic realm and region of the world, both terrestrial and marine, but with a particular emphasis on geographic features such as mountains, islands, and coral reefs. It reveals patterns useful in biodiversity conservation, helps to put it all into perspective, and ultimately serves as both a baseline from which to compare subsequent developments as well as a standardization of the way threatened species are studied.
