"Horned 'toads' have long inspired curious humans, from ancient
Indian rock artists and the earliest Spanish explorers to modern
scientists. These lizards specialize on ants for food, employ
distinctive defensive tactics for different enemies, arch their
bodies to collect rainwater, and exhibit numerous other adaptations
to arid environments. Wade Sherbrooke's wonderful book, packed with
facts and personal insights, will give everyone from lay
naturalists to seasoned field biologists a new appreciation for
these magically bizarre animals."--Harry W. Greene, author of
"Snakes: The Evolution of Mystery in Nature
"Written in language understandable by anyone, Sherbrooke's
newly revised little book on horned lizards is an exceedingly
useful reference that covers most of what is known about these
interesting and unusual lizards."--Eric R. Pianka, author of "The
Lizard Man Speaks
"Wade Sherbrooke has provided in this very readable book a
concise introduction to the evolution and natural history of the
horned lizards, their impact on human art, and their future in an
increasingly human-dominated planet. No one has more first-hand
knowledge of the life history of horned lizards than Dr.
Sherbrooke, so this book represents more than a summary; Sherbrooke
provides insight into the life and times of horned lizards as no
one else could. Amateur and professional alike will find much to
enjoy about this book."--Darrel Frost, American Museum of Natural
History
Praise for the first edition:
