Florida contains more exotic amphibians and reptiles than any other U.S. state. Illustrated species accounts detail the history and nature of each, the mode of dispersal, natural history, and present-day habitat and geographic distribution in the state. The impact of these animals is measured by their presence in natural systems of Florida and predator-prey interactions with native and other exotic species. The authors update the list of the documented exotic species in Florida and provide a progress report on new and published natural history information for each established species. An afterword examines the role people have played in the success of these species.

What makes a frog an amphibian but a snake a reptile? Both classes may lay eggs, but they have different skin coverings and breathe in different ways. Pages of fun facts will help kids identify each animal in the class like a pro after reading the fourth book in Arbordale’s Compare and Contrast series. Similar to Polar Bears and Penguins, Clouds and Trees; Amphibians and Reptiles uses stunning photographs and simple non-fiction text to get kids thinking about the similarities and differences between these two animal classes.

Although reptiles and amphibians are different classes of vertebrates, they have long been studied together in the field of herpetology. This guide provides an account of the herpetology of Montana, first providing descriptions of herpetofauna biology, habitats in Montana, field observation, and conservation and management, then moving onto species accounts of 36 salamanders, frogs, toads, turtles, lizards, and snakes occurring in the western state. Including numerous color photographs, the species accounts provide information on morphology, taxonomy and distribution, habitat and behavior, and reproduction and development. Also provided are a simplified key to aid identification, a glossary, and appendices detailing reproductive features and other information.
