When you compare the species richness not per country, but per square kilometre, that is when you get a more realistic picture, and then those tiny tropical countries rightfully stand out in the spotlights.

I only taxonomy from phylum to family, since i feel like there wouldnt be much reason to include genus, since a lot of genuses only have a couple of species and since you should be able to guess the animal by knowing the family and where it lives, size etc.

And, I started daydreaming about encountering something a little different, maybe a Horned Frog, Ceratophrys cornuta, a large, squat green and brown frog of South America, with a wide mouth large enough to eat other frogs as well as reptiles. A book about all the frogs and toads of the world is an ambitious undertaking.

I think of "old speciesism" as analogous to racism and sexism in that it is exploitation based on species. Here are some of the my favorite quotes: In reality, species don't evolve toward greater humanness but toward greater adaptiveness in their ecological niche (105). Instead, it is the campaign to modify it.

But you haven’t come here to read my writing about mammals or reptiles, so, yeah, there are also lots of birds. Perched high above the river were a number of birds of prey, including the one with the most evocative call of the African bush, the African Fish-eagle. Red Lechwe. In particular, there are lots of waterbirds.

In the parking area I immediately encountered a pair of Australian Brush-turkeys as well as a new species for me, a Grey-headed Robin. This huge member of the Australian robin family is really tame in this carpark, making it probably the easiest place n the world to see the species (other than the Tableland it is only found in New Guinea).

It brings mammals, and frogs in profusion, and reptiles, and insects. We found some more sleeping birds, lots of frogs, and a Lesser Mousedeer – a new species for me! This can also be a curse, as I have spent many nights wandering around seeing precisely nothing. Or nothing big at least. So many insects.

From the time he can remember, every camping, hiking, or simple trip outside was focused on finding wildlife with herps, mammals, birds and native fish as his primary interests.

I couldn’t wait to give names to all my new species. I tried using the Internet, but found it frustrating for all the usual reasons; websites either didn’t include all species or were difficult to use for identification. Each species account is 2-pages long, one page of text and one page of photographs.
