Southern African Mammals Made Simple

by Doug Newman

Overview

Southern African mammals made simple enables users to distinguish between commonly confused mammals by applying the breakthrough methodology that made Southern African LBJs made simple so hugely popular. The simple three-step system allows for quick and certain identification of mammals in the field. For each species featured, the book gives: • range maps • full-colour illustrations and photographs • key identification pointers, and • concise text describing height, weight, habits and habitat. Distinctive and iconic animals are included, but the particular value of this book lies in making separation of the more challenging species possible, such as antelope, mongooses, genets, primates and many more. It will appeal to both local and foreign visitors to our game parks.
