Deadly Reptiles

Come test your knowledge about reptiles with Corey Tutt, the bestselling author of The First Scientists.

Did you know that a central bearded dragon’s beard can change colour to protect it from predators? Or that the temperature of a turtle’s egg nest determines the baby turtles’ gender? Or that some First Nations names for reptiles are more scientifically accurate than European names, such as the common death adder, which is more related to a brown snake than an adder?

Behold an incredible world of reptiles, some of them deadly in more ways than one. Recommended for ages 5–12.
