Stump-tailed Chameleons: Miniature Dragons of the Rainforest 
Book Description
At first glance, many readers will likely be surprised to find a book
that exclusively features stump-tailed (or dwarf) chameleons! Most of us
are acquainted with their close relatives, the gaudy colored true
chameleons, because of their extensive use in advertising and the large
number of publications in which they appear. The majority of people
think they know these creatures, yet hardly anyone provides accurate
information (they have only heard of their over-emphasized color change
or their feeding apparatus, their fantastic tongue). ... Petr
Necas and Wolfgang Schmidt provide a wealth of information on the
biology, systematics, and captive husbandry of stump-tailed
chameleons... With over 260 color photos and 256 pages a true
achievement that will give all needed information for hobbyists and
scientists alike. |
