Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth description of the natural history and geographical distribution of snakes found in Britain. Drawing on contributions from over 150 field naturalists, the author traces the presence of the three British species of snakes: the ring snake, smooth snake, and adder. The author goes into detail on the habitats, habits, and distinguishing characteristics of the three species, with particular attention paid to the adder, the only venomous snake in Britain. Detailed maps show where each species can be found, and anecdotal evidence from contributors provides a fascinating glimpse into the habits and behaviors of these elusive creatures. The book concludes with a thought-provoking exploration of the continuing fascination with snakes and their role in British mythology, folklore, and superstitions. This book will appeal to biologists, herpetologists, and anyone with an interest in British wildlife and natural history.
