About this product
Product Information
Madagascar is home to one of the most remarkable assemblages of mammals on earth. Millions of years of isolation have resulted in the evolution of an exceptional array of species found nowhere else, from the iconic Ring-tailed Lemur to the bizarre Aye-aye, the peculiar Fosa and obscurities like the Web-footed Tenrec. This handbook is the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference to all 217 native species found on the island, encompassing lemurs, carnivores, tenrecs, rodents and bats, and a small number of non-native mammals. With nearly 400 exceptional photographs - often featuring species rarely photographed previously - Mammals of Madagascar includes information on identification, habitat and distribution, behaviour, and best locations to see species, as well as up-to-date species and habitat maps. Supporting chapters cover the island's regions and habitats, threats to mammals, conservation, important mammal-watching sites and a section on the extinct mammal fauna. This is an essential resource for anyone with an interest in the unique and extraordinarily diverse mammal fauna of Madagascar.
