A marvellously illustrated introductory guide to frogs and their natural history.

Frogs are among the most diverse and adaptable animals on the planet, with a rich evolutionary history and a vitally important role in global ecosystems. With more than 7,700 species known to exist, they come in all shapes, sizes, and colours, and can be found in habitats ranging from rainforests and frozen tundras to deserts and your own backyard.

This unique guide explores the physiology, behaviour, ecology, and evolution of frogs, shedding invaluable light on every facet of their lives, both on land and in the water. Blending stunning photos and illustrations with engaging and informative profiles of selected species, The Lives of Frogs is an essential introduction to the natural history of these magnificent amphibians.
