Terralog 5 Turtles of the World, Australia and Oceania by Holger Vetter.
This volume of TERRALOG is a portrayal of the chelonians of Australia and Oceania. The geographic range covered in this book includes: Australia, New-Guinea, New Zealand and the islands of the Pacific Ocean. Australia and New Guinea are home to numerous species of the genus Chelodina (widely known as snake-necked turtles), but also to unique species such as the Pig-nosed Turtle or the May River Turtle. With over 400 color photographs and 35 color distribution maps for all species, this volume of TERRALOG is a unique reference for everyone - from the hobbyist to the scientist.
This makes it a fascinating photographic overview of the amazing diversity of Australian and Oceanian turtles. Also included at the end of this book is an appendix for the previous 4 volumes of TERRALOG: Turtles of the World. It is an update for the taxa that were described or revalidated after the publication of volumes 1 to 4 respectively.
