Amphibians and Reptiles in Kansas

An extensive update, this edition includes, for the first time, 96 color photographs of salamanders, frogs and toads, turtles, lizards, and snakes, as well as an impressive collection of black-and-white photographs. The addition of 1,000 new records since the first edition has enhanced the accuracy of the maps, which identify counties where each animal has been found. Also new in this edition is information on a snake recently discovered in Kansas, the Cottonmouth, and three more kinds of amphibians and reptiles. For each amphibian and reptile, this guide lists the standardized common name and the most current scientific name and information about identification, size, range in Kansas, habits and habitats, breeding, food, and endangered or threatened status when relevant. A bibliography with more than 1,300 entries and a complete identification key are also included.
