Of the world's 4,000 to 4,500 mammal species, about 1,100 occur in Africa. Authors Chris and Tilde Stuart concentrate on the more visible and easily distinguished larger mammal species, plus some of the more frequently seen smaller mammals.
In all, over 400 colour photographs, combined with concise, pertinent information highlighting the diagnostic features of each species, provide a comprehensive source of information on each mammal. Distribution maps reflect the habitat and distribution patterns for each species. To aid the reader, colour coding and symbols indicating the habitat and activity period serve as a quick reference to the various mammal groups.
