Mammals includes some of the most intriguing creatures on the planet:
the big cats of Africa, the monkeys that inhabit the trees of the Amazon
basin, the whales and dolphins that roam the world's oceans. This book
profiles the mammals of the world, using an entry by entry approach. By
including fascinating examples from all of the world's major mammal
families, Mammals offers a truly comprehensive overview of mammals
from every continent and gives a sense of the incredible diversity of
mammal types. The entries are grouped by order, then within each order
by family (and, where necessary, within each family by subfamilies);
each family section contains examples of the key species, which are
illustrated with beautifully detailed, full-color artworks. For easy
reference, each entry includes a table of information on scientific
name, order and family, features, habitats, distribution, diet and
breeding.
