No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780823967377

These freshwater carnivores swim, bask, and even snorkel through their long snouts, but their most unique feature is their soft, leathery shell. Spiny softshells also give new meaning to "camouflage." When they bury themselves in the mud under shallow water, they are nearly impossible to see. The chameleon of turtles, spiny softshells can change their shell color to blend with their surroundings. Kids will be fascinated by the life cycle of these pancake-shaped turtles.

Biology of Xenopus
<em>Xenopus</em> is a genus of African clawed frogs. Despite their occurrence in such diverse habitats as rainforests, lowland swamps, and alpine lakes--and their widespread use in laboratory research--the biology of these animals in their natural environments has never been reviewed. This volume provides the first comprehensive account of the taxonomy, ecology, behaviour, genetics, immunology, sensory physiology, and evolution of this group, with contributions from leading researchers in these fields.
