Synopsis: Did you know that: snakes have six rows of sharp, pointed teeth? Basilisk lizards can run on top of water? Leatherback turtles can weigh up to 2,000 pounds? Geckos lick their eyeballs to clean them? Many of us are fascinated by reptiles and also enjoy them as pets. This fact-packed book takes a look at their behavior and characteristics and offers information to help us know and appreciate these unique animals. For instance, you'll discover what turtles need in order to eat, why a chameleon changes its skin color and pattern, and, of course, what all that snake-y hissing is about!
