reptiles is really incredi-

Communication and
Education Specialist with the Wildlife Department. “This book
features 140 of the species that can be found in our state; from
the eastern collared lizard with a near statewide distribution, to
rare salamanders found only in the Ouachita Mountains.”
Tips for identification, a map of its Oklahoma range, and infor-
mation about its diet and preferred habitats are provided for each
species. The book’s spiral binding makes it easy to flip through and
make comparisons of different species when
identifying animals in the field or at home.
