Australia's mostly hot, dry continent is home to nearly 800 described species, and the seven Australian families represent four evolutionary lineages: three families of geckoes and flap-footed (legless) lizards; skinks; goannas and dragons. Australia is a land of lizards, boasting an amazing diversity of species that rivals any other country on earth.

The authors aim to convey their admiration for these remarkable animals and share the knowledge and experience gained from working with them. Provided is the most recent understanding of their origins, life history, habitat, and distribution. Also included is an individual account of all of Australia's dragon species, featuring the most up-to-date taxonomic classification. Each is described, illustrated, and mapped.

Dragon Lizards of Australia by Steve Wilson, Jane Meville, and Jane Melville is an essential read for anyone interested in the natural wonders of the Australian lizard population.
