A comprehensive guide to the mammals of South-east Asia.
From large mammals such as the elephant, bears, big cats, dolphins and whales to monkeys and badgers to bats, civets, rats and shrews, South-east Asia is one of the world's richest regions in terms of mammalian diversity. Species new to science are still being described regularly, though there is increasing pressure on all of its wild mammal populations.
More than 550 species are covered in this comprehensive guide, which is now in its second edition. Each species account includes key identification characteristics along with information on habitat, behaviour, distribution and status, and many are accompanied by line drawings of footprints and details of anatomy, or other aspects of identification. Beautiful colour plates depict each species and their variations, while accompanying range maps provide up-to-date information on distribution.
This field guide is an essential companion for any naturalist or traveller visiting this corner of Asia, one of the richest and most diverse parts of the world for mammals.
