- A guide to the reptiles of Belize / by Stafford, Peter J.(CARDINAL)326518; Meyer, John R.(CARDINAL)165492;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 331-343)."A small country on the flank of the Yucatan Peninsula, Belize is home to over 120 different reptile species including crocodilians, turtles, lizards and snakes. This biodiversity reflects the environmental heterogeneity common to many tropical lowland countries. Subtle ecological differences have contributed to the ever fascinating and diverse fauna and flora of lowland Central America. A Guide to the Reptiles of Belize includes useful identification keys, diagrams, illustrations, and so many color photographs that nearly every species is beautifully illustrated. In a format suitable for hiker's daypack or even back pocket, A Guide to the Reptiles at Belize will be an indispensable resource as a herpetological reference, and for anyone traveling to Belize, southern Mexico, Guatemala or other countries in northern Central America." "Key Features: published in association with the Natural History Museum London; numerous line drawings and diagrams; over 180 color photographs; identification keys for all species."--Jacket.- Subjects: Reptiles;
