Handy, compact and concise, this is an indispensable companion for every hiker, hunter and nature lover -- small enough to fit into any bag or pocket, and yet it provides valuable information on no fewer that 87 mammal species, from big cats to bushbabies. Illustrated by clear, full-colour photographs, each species also has a comprehensive description, and lists species with which it may be confused, and their differences. Full-colour maps and habitat keys provide important information at a glance on the distribution, and any subspecies that may occur, and its preferred habitat.
