Yonge, Regius professor of zoology in the University of Glasgow, published 1959 by Readers Union Collins. D. P. Wilson was a pioneering underwater photographer who developed specialized techniques for capturing marine life in their natural environments, often working in challenging conditions to document these rarely-seen underwater worlds. Squat lobsters, despite their name, are more closely related to hermit crabs than to true lobsters. They are found in oceans worldwide, from shallow waters to deep-sea hydrothermal vents. **About Your Purchase:** - Your purchase is this ORIGINAL antique lithograph print.
