Description
Frogs toads newts salamanders and the rare caecilians come in a stunning array of colours shapes sizes and habitats. They live both in water and on land and move in a great variety of ways from swimming to hopping and even flying. With a series of specially commissioned photographs Amphibian looks in close-up at the fascinating natural history of these creatures from the bright green red-eyed treefrogs to dull burrowing worm-like caecilians; from startling black and yellow fire salamanders to tiny transparent glass frogs.Unique photo-sequences show newt tadpoles developing into adults and a burrowing frog disappear before your very eyes. A giant ornate horned toad devours a mouse and a frog leaps across the pages - caught in mid-air with tongue outstretched after a tasty meal. See the underwater courtship display of a great crested newt and watch a salamander eating an earthworm.Full of amazing facts and extraordinary real-life photography Amphibian is a unique and exciting introduction to the varied world of amphibians.
