Few animals strike as much fear as snakes, which kill either
through their poisonous venom or through suffocation. Numbering
more than 3000 species, snakes can be found in virtually every
environment other than Antarctica, from the jungles of the Amazon
to the Gobi desert and Australian Outback. Some snakes even inhabit
the rivers and seas. Arranged by continent, Snakes offers an
engaging pictorial introduction to these prehistoric predators.
Find out about the black mamba, which is feared because it
possesses an extremely potent venom that kills most of its victims
– animal and human; see the banded krait, whose venom is a
neurotoxin that induces instant paralysis; learn about the
reticulated python, the world’s longest constrictor, regularly
reaching over 6 metres (20ft) in length; and marvel at the tiny
Barbados threadsnake, which typically grows to a length of 10cm
(4in) and has been compared to a spaghetti noodle! With full
captions explaining the history, behaviour and feeding habits of
more than 150 snake species, Snakes is a fascinating examination of
these highly colourful reptilian killers in more than 180 vivid
photographs.
