NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author: Tony Jewell (photography Rod Morris)
Everyone has heard of the tuatara, New Zealand's unique 'living dinosaur'; but equally fascinating, if less well known, are the country's other reptiles.

In this new addition to a popular "New Holland" series, Tony covers all the known species from Northland to the far south; his text is backed up by outstanding photographs of their many geographic colour variants, so that readers will be equipped to identify almost any specimen encountered in the wild. This is a groundbreaking handbook and a superb aid for natural history enthusiasts, trampers and educationalists.
