Author: Nobuhiro Kawazoe
Lizards, turtles, snakes, crocodiles... The Earth is home to more reptiles with stranger shapes than we can imagine. In fact, there are wild reptiles that you can encounter up close in Japan's parks and riversides.
This book introduces a wide range of reptiles from around the world and Japan, asking the question, "Why do they have that shape?" For example, there are turtles with long necks, lizards that look like dragons, and snakes with strange patterns... By comparing species that are surprisingly different in appearance, even within the same family, you will naturally come to understand the secrets of their shapes and the reasons for their evolution.
The author and photographer is Nobuhiro Kawazoe, known as one of Japan's top photographers and commentators of reptiles and amphibians. With beautiful photos and easy-to-understand explanations, he answers children's "why?" questions.
It is also useful for school lessons and research studies, and through the experience of "seeing," "comparing," and "thinking," it can deepen interest in natural science.
