{"product_id":"9781838864286","title":"Crocodiles, Alligators \u0026 Lizards : From Black Caimans to Komodo Dragons","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrocodiles, alligators, caimans, gila monsters - these creatures all have dinosaur ancestries dating from 94 million years ago. There is something elemental and scary about a crocodile, with its tough scaly skin, long powerful tail, conical, peg-like teeth and vicious bite. And these creatures can still be found in every part of the world. Arranged by continent, Crocodiles, Alligators \u0026amp; Lizards introduces the American alligator, an apex predator that swims the coasts, estuaries and swamps of southeast USA feeding on fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals; the black caiman, which can grow up to an enormous 6 metres (20ft) in length and prefers the habitat of the slow-moving rivers and lakes of the Amazon basin; the frilled lizard, which spreads its frilly neck when threatened or to impress other lizards; the gila monster, whose two- tone camouflage colouring allows it to easily blend into its desert habitat; and the Komodo dragon, which can run up to 20km\/h (13mph) over short distances and has a venomous bite that can paralyze large animals. With detailed captions explaining the origins, habitat and behaviour of these fascinating species, Crocodiles, Alligators \u0026amp; Lizards is a vivid pictorial guide in over 200 brilliant photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45477929058525,"sku":"9781838864286","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781838864286.jpg?v=1720433552","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781838864286","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
