Summary:
" '
Turtles
of
North
America
' begins with an introduction to turtle biology, how they diversified over time and how we classify the groups of
turtles
that exist today. A section about anatomy details their basic body plan, and how it varies to take advantage of different environments. A section about behavior covers how they live, from what they eat to what eats them, and their importance in the environment. Fully
illustrated
species accounts describe the 64 species of
turtles
that inhabit the
continental
United
States
and
Canada
and the ocean waters that surround them. For each turtle there are photographs and text that show how to identify each species and give a little information about its life history. A range map shows where each turtle may be found. To complete this comprehensive guidebook, numerous additional pages highlight interesting or unusual aspects of
North
American turtle species."--From publisher.
