Describes the anatomies of venomous snakes, along with their diversity and distribution. This title looks at the various types of snake venom and the ways that each type attacks the body. From bamboo pitvipers to deep-diving seasnakes, and from adders and asps to terciopelos and the massasaugas, it examines these enthralling creatures.
