Mammals of Africa

by Mark Andrews

The most up-to-date field guide to the mammals of Africa, including all the species people most want to see when on safari. Africa is to mammals what South America is to birds; in fact about one quarter of the world's mammals are found on this continent. Illustrated Checklist Mammals of Africa contains 80 colour plates covering almost all of Africa's 1,150 plus species. For many species the female or juvenile is shown in addition to the adult male. Identifiable races or colour forms have also been included, as have the spores or tracks of key species. Informative notes on each species are conveniently placed opposite illustrations. The text describes the key identification features, the usual habits and habitat of the species and its global conservation status. In addition, there are over 1,000 distribution maps, information on geography, climate, conservation, finding and observing wildlife and a section on the region's finest national parks.
