About: Southern African Mammals Made Simple

Southern African Mammals Made Simple enables users to distinguish between commonly confused mammals by applying a breakthrough methodology. The simple three-step system allows for quick and certain identification of mammals in the field. For each species featured, the guide features range maps, full-colour illustrations and photographs, key identification pointers, and concise text describing height, weight, habits and habitat. All of southern Africa’s most common and distinctive mammals are included, but the particular value of this book lies in separating the more challenging species, such as antelope, mongooses, genets, primates and many more.
