Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crocodilians are one of the most interesting, yet misunderstood predators on this planet. Much about what we know surrounding crocodilians is rooted in a history that is full of false information. Subjects such as enormous crocodilians, the history of alligators living in sewers, and their evolution are usually answered with faulty facts. In addition, there is still much we don’t understand about these animals, such as their taxonomy, biology, behavior, and more. Did you know crocodilians show signs of regeneration, what’s going on there? To find the truth in all the lies, exaggerations, or unknowns, one must either spend decades studying these animals or pay a hefty price buying complex literature. What We Get Wrong About Crocodilians fixes these problems. The book looks over myths, misconceptions, and mysteries surrounding these animals for an affordable price and is written for a more general audience to understand. The topics discussed range from the 5th century B.C.E. to present day. Some of the topics will be recognizable, some are generally unknown to many, and some may be shocking. Whether you are causally interested in these animals, or have spent decades studying them, What We Get Wrong About Crocodilians will present information rarely discussed and enlighten all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reproductive Biology of the Crocodylia is based on over 40 years of research on global crocodiles, alligators and caimans. It brings together data and information previously scattered across publications to synthesize knowledge on the history, ecology, physiology and anatomy of crocodilians. The book provides a comprehensive look at the physiology, current taxonomy, ecology and sexual maturity factors of these reptiles. It then delves into the anatomy and cycles of both male and female reproduction systems, including nesting and incubation, temperature-dependent sex determination, and sex ratios across various species populations. Finally, the book focuses on conservation efforts to protect the reproductive cycle, taking factors such as pollution, climate change, and human disruption into consideration. It is an ideal resource for wildlife biologists and herpetologists seeking up-to-date and thorough research data on conservation efforts. It will also be helpful for exotic animal veterinarians, zookeepers, and alligator or crocodile farmers. Focuses on crocodilian reproduction and how it is impacted by seasons, social interactions, pollution, and more Provides a thorough overview by a globally recognized expert on crocodilian reproduction and endocrinology Explores conservation efforts and offers insights for protecting crocodilian reproduction cycles against current factors, including pollution, environmental effects and human interference

Download or read book Discoveries of a Crocodile Man written by Tony Pooley and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the history of the development of a childhood passion into an international career in crocodile conservation. It is also a book about the making of a field biologist, of a boy who never finished school but devoured books on natural history - and who was trained in the field by skilled Zulu naturalists in the now underrated art of paying close and sustained attention to the natural world. Tony is one of a handful of conservationists who have succeeded in describing the tough, challenging days of early wildlife conservation in South Africa with a forthright commitment and dedication to conservation, but also great sensitivity to the natural world, and empathy with the humans affected by conservation with its admixture of harmful and uplifting impacts and consequences. This book is above all the story of the struggle to learn more about the much maligned and secretive Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus), and to convince the authorities and the public of its right to survive in the continent's protected waterways. Along the way, the reader learns a great deal about crocodile biology and behaviour, most notably Tony's findings on crocodilian parental care. Readers of Discoveries of a Crocodile Man will learn much about the ecological relations of crocodiles with their fellow creatures in their particular environments. Discoveries also provides insights into the lost world of Zululand in the 1950s-70s, both ecologically and socially. Tony narrates his struggles to care for captive crocodiles, at his three crocodile research facilities where he pioneered techniques in captive rearing. The intention was to restock Zululand's then declining populations. We also learn about Tony's attempts to convince the public to tolerate crocodiles, in the face of widespread prejudices, negative cultural beliefs, and of course attacks on humans and domestic animals. This Second edition includes a new introduction providing further biographical information and historical context.
