摘要
The snakes and marine turtles of Kuwait are discussed with reference to unreported varieties and to their conservation. The needs to conserve and carry out research into the breeding, migration and varieties of marine turtles of the Arabian Gulf is emphasized due to their endangered status and their greatly reduced nesting grounds. The study of local populations, their breeding sites, feeding grounds and other migrations are discussed and problems are identified. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
