Pocket Guide to Mammals of East Africa

East Africa comprises a range of habitats that provide living space

for more than 360 diverse species of mammal. These vary in size

from the massive elephant to the tiniest bats, shrews and mice.

This compact guide covers all of the common and some of the less

common mammal species of the region. For each species it offers:

• key identification features, behaviour, diet, breeding biology,

occurrence and size

• clear, full-colour photographs

• track illustrations

• silhouettes to indicate size relative to human figure

• distribution map

A section on droppings/dung of many of the animals, as well as that

of relative tracks, conclude the book. Compact and easy-to-use, this

is the ideal companion both for regulars and visitors to the region.
