(Ebook) Field Guide to the Mammals of South-East Asia (2nd Edition) by Charles Francis ISBN 9781472934970, 1472934970

A revised and updated edition of the only comprehensive guide to this mammal-rich region, including text accounts for an additional 50 species. South-east Asia is one of the richest and most diverse parts of the world in terms of mammals, and species new to science are still being described on a regular basis. The only comprehensive guide to mammals of the region has now been revised and updated to include more than 50 additional species, including big cats, elephants, bears, and bats. More than 550 species are described in detail, including key identification characteristics, habitat, behavior, distribution, and status, accompanied by line drawings of footprints and details of anatomy or other aspects of identification. Specially commissioned color plates beautifully depict nearly all species and their variations, while accompanying range maps provide up-to-date information on distribution. With the continuing worldwide threat to wildlife and habitats, this remains a timely and important field guide that will appeal to travelers, wildlife enthusiasts, and students of mammals alike.
