Please enquire: nick@nickgarbutt.com Mammals of Madagascar Nick Garbutt Madagascar's mammals are remarkable in that over 90% of them are found no where else. Only six orders are represented - from well-known lemurs to less familiar tenrecs and unusual species of carnivore - but within these groups there is spectacular diversity. This is the first single volume to document the entire known mammal fauna of the island. Each species is covered in detail, the information having been drawn from a wide variety of up-to-date sources. Further, this has been supplemented and enhanced by the author's own observations gathered during several years in the field. The book is illustrated throughout with Nick's stunning colour photographs and detailed ink drawings. Mammals of Madagascar also provides information on all the best places to see each of the mammals in the wild and field identification has been one of the main considerations in writing the species accounts. Introductory chapters discuss the creation of the island and the influence Madagascar's long isolation from mainland Africa has had on the development of the unusual mammals fauna.

fauna of Madagascar" "This is the book I always wanted to have. It qualifies as a
