"Tortoises
of Australia"
John Cann
Published by Angus & Robertson
An authoritative field guide to Australian tortoises
written by a well-known expert in this field. Over the years John Cann has collected a
large variety of tortoises throughout Australia and specialised in studying their habits
in captivity and in the wild.
Information on each tortoise has been arranged in a concise and easy
form so that quick reference to distribution, description, size and habits can be made;
for immediate identification, the tortoises discussed are represented by full colour
photographs of striking clarity.
"Tortoises of Ausralia" also includes information
on the care of tortoises in captivity in relation to housing, temperature, food and the
treatment of common diseases and wounds. Over 100 photographs are included in full colour. |
