Field Guide to the Frogs & Other Amphibians of Africa

The first guide to cover all known frogs, caecilians and salamanders of Africa.

"Field Guide to the Frogs & other Amphibians of Africa" is the first comprehensive guide to amphibian species on the African continent. This new guide details 815 species - 788 frogs, 23 caecilians and four salamanders. It includes an introduction that offers tips on handling and identifying amphibians, and an illustrated guide to each species group, which serves as a first step towards species ID. Species accounts describe physical features, distribution, habitat, biology, advertisement calls and conservation status of each amphibian, and are supported by colour photographs and up-to-date distribution maps.
Authoritative and pioneering, this guide will prove invaluable to nature lovers, conservationists, tour guides, students and scientists.
