Description
Iguanas are large, primeval-appearing animals that have always attracted considerable attention and scientific study. The 30 species of
iguanas are today collectively referred to as iguanines, or the subfamily Iguaninae, of the lizard family Iguanidae. This book is the
result of a symposium of worldwide scientists on the world's iguanas that was held at a joint meeting of the Society of the Study of
Amphibians and Reptiles and The Herpetologist's League.
Over 30 recognized experts submitted their studies of these interesting reptiles,
and have published what was once unknown and unpublished information. This book was a leader in its time and still serves as a wonderful
reference for scientist and student alike.
Audience
Animal scientists, veterinarians, agricultural and zoological managers and handlers, animal behaviorists.
