Reptile - Colin McCarthy

Reptiles are descended from the fish that crawled out of the sea to walk on land millions of years ago.
Crocodiles
snakes
turtles
and lizards have all evolved in different ways
adapting to a multitude of habitats from tropical swamps to scorching deserts.From turtles to tutaras
crocodiles to chameleons
and frogs to flying snakes
stunning close-up photographs show the curious habits and amazing beauty of many extraordinary reptiles.
See how an anole lizard frightens its enemies by displaying its bring red beard.
Watch a baby rat snake hatching from its egg
and see a boa-constrictor swallowing its prey whole. Mating

and defence
all these topics and more brought vividly to life in Reptile.
