This 11-volume reference for middle and high school students covers every family of reptiles and amphibians and their respective characteristics. Arranged alphabetically by the commonly used English names of families, the articles (about 20 pages in length) describe the shared features and behaviors of individual species within the family, the variety contained within the family, and its relationship to other groups; the types of places where it dwells; the variety of methods of feeding and reproduction; and the threats some species face and what is being done to protect them. Each article also contains a family tree, annotated artwork illustrating key anatomical features and internal organs or skeleton when relevant, and panels addressing ancestry, physical features and lifestyle. Extensively illustrated in color. The index volume contains entries that cover the shared feature of reptiles and amphibians, as well as the meaning and use of taxonomic terms. Annotation c.
