A picture-packed guide to one of nature's most fascinating animal species.

From tiny turtles and giant tortoises to slithering snakes, leggy lizards, and humungous crocodiles, discover how reptiles sense the world, move, use camouflage, and more.

Learn how crocodiles look after their young, how lizards store fat in their tails, and how chameleons swivel their eyes. Find out how snakes are charmed, how geckos walk upside down, why crocodiles swallow stones, and how a snake is milked of venom.

With stunning close-up photographs of snakes, crocodiles, lizards, and turtles, DK Eyewitness Reptile offers a unique eyewitness view of these amazing creatures. See how an anole lizard frightens its enemies by displaying its bright red beard and watch a boa constrictor swallowing its prey whole.

Part of the best-selling DK Eyewitness series, this popular title has been reinvigorated for the next generation of information-seekers and stay-at-home explorers, with a fresh new look, new photographs, updated information, and a new "eyewitness" featureβ€”fascinating first-hand accounts from experts in the field.
