Sink your fangs into the hidden worlds of these scaly and sensational creatures with leading reptile scientist and National Geographic Explorer Dr. Ruchira Somaweera as your guide.

With gorgeous full-color photographs and nail-biting from-the-field stories from Dr. Somaweera-including the time he waded waist-deep into a cave teeming with gigantic crocodiles!-this book takes you up close and personal with wild, weird, and just plain wonderful reptiles. Complete your collection with The Ultimate Book of Sharks, The Ultimate Book of African Animals, and The Ultimate Book of Big Cats!
