Review: "Covering the western part of the central Great Plains, the southern Rocky Mountains, and the canyons, mesas, and plains of the upper Colorado River basin, Amphibians and Reptiles in Colorado will be a useful resource for adjacent states such as Wyoming and eastern Utah. With more than 200 color photographs to aid the reader in identification, this book is both a reference work for those interested in the herpetofauna of the region and a field guide for hikers, amateur naturalists, and other outdoor enthusiasts."--Jacket. |
