Texas has a large and diverse turtle population, with forms that
are found nowhere else (Cagle's Map Turtle and the Texas Map
Turtle) and wide-ranging species that barely touch the state,
including the Painted Turtles and the Rough-footed Mud Turtle. From
the Sabine River to El Paso, and from the Rio Grande to the
Panhandle, thirty-one native and established exotic turtle species
are definitely known in Texas, along with one crocodilian, the
American Alligator. Texas Turtles & Crocodilians is the first
complete identification guide to all the state's turtles and to its
single alligator. It offers detailed species accounts, range maps,
and excellent color photographs to aid in field identification. The
authors, two of the state's most knowledgeable herpetologists, open
the book with a broad overview of turtle natural history,
conservation biology, observation, and captive maintenance before
providing a key to Texas turtles and accounts of the various turtle
families and species. Appendices provide brief accounts of species
that occurred prehistorically in Texas and non-established exotic
species, as well as a table of Texas' major watersheds and the
turtle diversity in each one. Informational resources on Texas
turtles and alligators, a map of Texas counties, a glossary, a
bibliography, and indexes of common and scientific names complete
the volume.
