Item description from seller

Octavo, paperback,208 pp.,colour photographs, text illustrations. Dominated by the city of Canberra, the Australian Capital Territory, or ACT, may be the smallest jurisdiction in Australia but it boasts an impressive array of frog and reptile species. This book is an essential guide to the herpetological fauna of this small but varied area, which includes habitats ranging from rainforests to deserts to alpine peaks. Covering every species of frog, turtle, lizard and snake found in the region — more than 80 in total — the guide is the ideal companion for anyone exploring this area. Canberra is recognised for its thoughtful city planning which incorporates an abundance of tree cover and urban nature reserves. Consequently, reptiles are well known to many of its residents, with several species — including Eastern Bluetongue, Delicate Sunskink, and the infamous Eastern Brown Snake — being common inhabitants of urban gardens. Nearby reserves also feature iconic species such as Shingleback Lizard and Eastern Bearded Dragon. Less familiar species include the rare and threatened Canberra Grassland Earless Dragon and Northern Corroboree Frog. All are covered in this guide. Following an Introduction giving an overview of the region, including its climate and key habitats, every frog and reptile species has a chapter with colour photos and a detailed written account covering ID, habitat, behaviour and status, while similar-looking species feature in ID keys for easy comparison.…
