The fully updated second edition of the leading field guide for
African safaris, providing unmatched coverage of all the continent's
land mammals in a handy, portable volume
Originally published in 2004, The Kingdon Pocket Guide to African
Mammals quickly became the field guide of choice to take on safari in
Africa, providing the most authoritative and comprehensive coverage
available in a handy, portable volume. Now this popular, practical, and
beautifully illustrated guide has been thoroughly revised and updated to
make it even better than before. Adapted from the revised second edition
of the acclaimed and much larger Kingdon Field Guide to African
Mammals, this second edition of the pocket guide features updated
species information and taxonomy and includes several new species. It
presents more than 780 superb color illustrations, including several new
ones, and 520 distribution maps--200 more than in the previous edition.
The concise text, greatly condensed from the larger field guide, focuses
on essential information for field identification and distribution,
while the illustrations are conveniently located on facing pages. Now,
more than ever, The Kingdon Pocket Guide to African Mammals is a
must-have companion for anyone interested in African wildlife--from the
tourist on safari to the experienced naturalist.
