Turtles of the southeast

"Seventy-five percent of the turtle species in the United States and Canada can be found in the Southeast. In fact, the region is second only to parts of Asia in its number of native turtles. Filled with more than four hundred color photographs and written with a special focus on conservation, this guide covers forty-two species of this nonthreatening, ancient lineage of long-lived reptiles."--BOOK JACKET.
