Kingdon's remarkable seven-volume masterwork on East African mammals
concludes with two volumes on the bovids, placing them in a broad
comparative, ecological, and evolutionary context. Volume IIIC covers
cattle, water buffalo, kudus, elands, dwarf antelopes, duikers,
reedbucks, and waterbucks; IIID covers gazelles, impalas, wildebeests,
oryxes, sheep, and goats. In addition to the stunning, lifelike drawings
that are an integral part of the text, the volumes include a reappraisal
of bovid taxonomy and original analyses of the form and function of body
shape and size, horn shape, coat pattern, and tooth structure.
