Description
Frogs: The Animal Answer Guide by Mike Dorcas and Whit Gibbons is an in-depth guide to these fascinating amphibians. With over 200 million years of history, frogs have evolved into a diverse range of species, from the massive goliath frog to the tiny gold frog. This book answers common and not-so-common questions about frogs, covering their evolution, current species, extinction rates, diet, predators, cultural significance, and conservation status. The authors provide easy-to-understand explanations, backed by 70 black-and-white photographs and two color galleries, making it an ideal resource for naturalists and anyone curious about these animals. By exploring the biology and ecology of frogs, this guide sheds light on the alarming worldwide amphibian crisis, which threatens extinction rates not seen in millions of years. With its comprehensive approach and wealth of information, Frogs: The Animal Answer Guide is a valuable resource for anyone looking to learn more about these incredible creatures.
