Stuarts’ Field Guide Mammals of Southern Africa (including Angola, Zambia and Malawi)

Southern Africa has about 530 mammal species, ranging from little shrews and bats to elephant, lion and rhino. The region is also home to many marine species - seals, dolphins and whales - that inhabit both coastal and deeper waters.

Now updated to reflect the latest taxonomic findings, Field Guide to Mammals of Southern Africa will help with the identification of the iconic larger animals, as well as the often bewildering array of smaller species. The detailed descriptions of each species offer insight into key identification characters, typical behaviour, preferred habitat, food choice, reproduction and longevity. Full-colour images and revised distribution maps complement the species accounts.
