Overview

A comprehensive photographic field guide to Madagascar's stunning mammal fauna Thanks to millions of years of isolation, the island of Madagascar is home to one of the most remarkable assemblages of mammals on earth. Nowhere else can boast such a combination of species-richness and endemism. Field Guide to Mammals of Madagascar covers all native species found on the island, including bats, tenrecs, mice and lemurs, as well as a small number of introduced, non-native species. Detailed species accounts cover description and identification, habitat and distribution, behaviour and where the best places to see a species might be; a detailed distribution map for each species is also included. Supporting chapters cover the island's regions and habitats, threats to mammals, conservation, and important mammal-watching sites. The book is illustrated throughout with exceptional photography, including species rarely photographed previously. Field Guide to Mammals of Madagascar is an essential addition to the backpack of any wildlife-watcher visiting this amazing island.
