This informal account of Arnosky's South Florida expeditions to observe American crocodiles lures readers with a conversational text that conveys excellent scientific information. The book is divided into sections, which lead readers naturally from Arnosky and his wife's first crocodile sighting to their twentieth. Habitat notes and vivid acrylics accompany the presentation. Back matter includes an original song and DVD.
