This easy-to-use, compact book is the perfect pocket guide to mammals of the region. It covers, in surprising detail, some 120 mammals, from the smallest, like bats, sengis and shrews, to the largest, such as elephant, lion and rhinoceros, as well as marine species, such as seals, dolphins and whales. Authoritative and colourfully illustrated, this guide offers concise information on key ID pointers, similar species, habitat, behaviour, diet, reproduction, longevity, calls, occurrence and measurements. Clear images of each animal, distribution maps, silhouettes indicating size relative to humans and illustrations of tracks and droppings make this a must-have book for tourists and nature-lovers alike. Mammals of Southern Africa Pocket Guide is available in Afrikaans and German as well.
