Description
Everybody has heard of the boa constrictor and the anaconda, but this remarkable book shows that there is a lot more to boas than a large snake coiled up on a rainforest tree or lying in ambush in a tropical swamp. This richly illustrated and definitive review brings together everything that we know—and do not know—about these fascinating serpents.
-Rick Shine, Macquarie University
Boas of the World is an extraordinary gift to biologists and naturalists. Passion for the animals shines through on every page, inspiring appreciation for boas and encouraging us to protect the snakes and their habitats.
-Martha L. Crump, editor of Lost Frogs and Hot Snakes
This impressive collection compiles expert knowledge on all known boa species. The book provides a comprehensive and scientifically up-to-date overview of our knowledge of these snakes, enhanced by remarkable photographs. It is a valuable resource that will undoubtedly foster greater appreciation and inspire future study of these fascinating snakes.
