In a country populated with stunning wildlife it is often quite difficult to identify certain species, especially if you don’t have a knowledgeable guide – or Google – with you.
However, with the release of Sasol Field Guide To Snakes And Other Reptiles Of Southern Africa, identifying different species of reptiles has been made easy.
The book provides a fascinating insight into reptiles in the region and will help beginners and budding naturalists to identify the most common species found in southern Africa.
Complete with colour photographs and distribution maps, this guide also offers information regarding feeding and nesting habits.
If you are planning a trip into the great outdoors, then you might want to add this book to your ‘must-have’ list, especially if you are curious about what reptiles you may encounter.
