Alligators and Crocodiles: In Nature and In Art

Alligators and Crocodiles In Nature and In Art is a book covering the basics of crocodilian evolution, biology, natural history and conservation. Written by Mark Perpetua, a biologist, educator and artist who has worked with and studied crocodilians for over 36 years. This book incudes many of his experiences of keeping crocodilians for education along with the history of his career. When not working with alligators and crocodiles, Mark draws them. His art work has been part of conservation fundraising events to support programs that help endangered crocodilians and is available in select zoos in the US. Along with his crocodilian artwork, there are several photographs including contributions from professional photographer Gary Meyers, and crocodilian biologist Joe Wasilewski and John Brueggen. A chapter devoted to every species of crocodilian is included with a drawing to illustrate all 27. If you appreciate wildlife, crocodilians or art, this book has it all. Read more
