Africa's wealth of wildlife is legendary and draws thousands of visitors to the continent each year. Anyone interested in mammals or visiting a game reserve or park in the region will find this handy book to be the essential travelling companion. The authors have selected the 152 mammal species most likely to be encountered and, by means of clear field text and colour photographs, highlight the characteristic features of each species for easy identification. Where applicable, age and sex difference are illustrated also. Features include: compact and easy-to-use format; authoritative text by Chris and Tilde Stuart, authors of the best-selling "Field Guide to the Mammals of Southern Africa"; grouping of those animals which are difficult to differentiate in the field, for purposes of comparison; thumbnail silhouettes, providing quick access to the group of animals most resembling the one seen; and distribution maps showing occurrence in Africa, as well as a list of the major parks and reserves in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Zaire, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya in which each animal is likely to be seen.
