Home to the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Mount
Kilimanjaro, Tanzania offers some of the finest big game watching in the
world, from elephants and rhinos to chimpanzees and lions. This field
guide covers all the larger mammals of Tanzania, including marine
mammals and some newly discovered species. Detailed accounts are
provided for more than 135 species, along with color photos, color
illustrations of marine mammals, and distribution maps. Accounts for
land species give information on identification, subspecies, similar
species, ecology, behavior, distribution, conservation status, and where
best to see each species. The guide also features plates with
side-by-side photographic comparisons of species that are easily
confused, as well as first-time-ever species checklists for every
national park.
