Reptiles & Frogs of Southeast Queensland: Including the Granite and Southern Brigalow Belts West to St George and North to the Rockhampton District

Reptiles and Frogs of Southeast Queensland encompasses the area normally associated with the southeast regional councils but extends much further into the semi-arid Balonne Shire in the southwest up to the Rockhampton district in the northeast.

The book features 270 species of native and introduced frogs, freshwater turtles, geckos, legless lizards, skinks, dragon and monitor lizards as well as snakes and marine reptiles. More than 700 half to full page photographs of as many different colour variations of each animal are depicted. Species lists, and an index of all common and scientific names guide the reader to the animal of their choice or alternatively simple linear keys are available to aid identification. Photographs are preceded by text offering information on identification, behaviour, habitat and known range, breeding calls and timing for the frogs and conservation status.

About the Author:  Miki Donovan developed an interest in reptiles and frogs at a young age which was nutured by his father and for the last six decades this has become his passion.  This is his fourth book (and certainly the most detailed and comprehensive) on the subject.  His aim has also been to inform and describe these often maligned, and sometimes hated creatures.
