Title informationThe Behavior Guide to African MammalsRichard D Estes
633 pages, 426 illus [by Daniel Otte], range maps.California University Press
This unique book aims to complement the existing field guides, in not only describing the appearance of Africa's mammals, but also their behaviour and actions. Covering four major groups - ruminant hoofed mammals, non-ruminant hoofed mammals, carnivores and primates - the text describes each species' distinctive behaviour, with descriptions of their appearance, relationships, evolution, ecology, social organisation, feeding, mating, fighting, plus where to find them. ` A work of tremendous scope ... Amateur naturalists and tourists to the parks of Africa and finally professionals will find this a stimulating, well-documented summary.' John F Eisenberg, Florida Museum of Natural History.
