The Macdonald Encyclopedia of Mammals

Fülszöveg

As mammals, we are naturally intrigued by this most advanced class of animals, and this lavishly illustrated encyclopedia describes 426 species, from minute shrews to gigantic whales, which are to be found throughout the world. A fascinating introduction reveals facts about the origin and evolution of mammals, where they live, their characteristics and the various family groups. Each entry is supported by a full-colour photograph and contains the mammal's classification, description, distribution and habitat, as well as details on behaviour, feeding habits and reproduction. Black-and-white line drawings illustrating unusual or notable physical features accompany the entries together with full-colour symbols indicating habitat and full-colour maps showing the distribution and rarity of each species. The book also includes a glossary and a comprehensive index.
