An authoritative pocket guide to the mammals of North Africa and the Middle East
This handy guide provides an introduction to more than 120 species of mammals found in North Africa and the Middle East. The authoritative text includes key facts about identification, habitat, behaviour, distribution and status, and each species is illustrated with colour photographs, including many never previously published.
Illustrated with clear colour photography and brief but authoritative descriptions the Pocket Photo Guides highlight the species of birds and animals from each region that the traveller is most likely to see, as well as those that are genuinely endemic (only to be seen in that country or region) or special rarities. The genuine pocket size allow the books to be carried around on trips and excursions and will take up minimal rucksack and suitcase space.
