Frogs, toads, salamanders, caecilians, turtles, lizards,
crocodiles, and numerous species of snakes in the Peten region of
northern Guatemala and adjacent terrain in Mexico and Belize are
illustrated and profiled in this first field guide to the reptiles
and amphibians of the area.
The 160 species of creatures range from the enormous, dramatic,
and potentially dangerous--such as the common venomous snake called
the barba amarilla (yellow beard) and the now endangered American
crocodile--to diminutive tree frogs, anoles, geckos, and skinks,
and the secretive snakes of the forest floor. With 176 color
photographs plus line drawings and maps, this guide is designed for
use both by scientists and by interested tourists and armchair
travelers. Notes on where animals are likely to be found and
English and Spanish identification keys help anyone wishing to spot
and recognize animals in the field.
