Reading like a large field guide with jaw-dropping images, this publication includes details on each species’ natural history and distribution. The often rare and spectacular subjects include Horned Land Frog, Jewelled Gecko, Red-eyed Crocodile Skink, Emerald Monitor and Green Python. For each photo technical specifications are highlighted while the story behind each image takes you alongside the photographer for each shot. The contributor accounts read like an adventurer’s diary, with tales of hardship, sacrifice, skill and plain old good luck that were needed in order to find and photograph these amazing beasts.
