Inquiry: Whit Gibbons - Amphibians and Reptiles of Georgia

Then: Leaping Anacondas!! Tonight on Inquiry we talk with noted herpetologist WHIT GIBBONS about snakes, salamanders, and turtles and other herps of eastern North America. Tune and find out why the Hognose Snake is one of the greatest bluffers in the natural world and why we maliciously kill more snakes here in New England than they do in the south. Professor Gibbons is one of the editors, along with John B. Jensen, Carlos D. Camp and Matt J. Elliott, of the monumental and beautiful AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES OF GEORGIA, one of the most useful and entertaining books on natural history to come out in some time.
