About this book

Language: French, with English, French, Italian, German, and Slovenian nomenclature

A complete and accessible guide to on one of the richest territories of France in number of wild mammal species. Often shy and difficult to observe, mammals are fascinating animals whose study is made exciting by the diversity of forms and behaviours that characterize them.

This guide details the 89 species of mammals from the Alpine arc, from species with a broad ecological spectrum to animals specially adapted to mountain environments, not to mention mythical species such as the bear or wolf and the emblematic chamois and ibex.

After a general presentation of the Alps and advice for the observation of animals, the book presents each species in detail, giving a general description, ecology, biology, a map, and altitudinal distribution. The numerous photographs offer a very complete picture of each species, thus aiding identification. Common names are given in English, French, Italian, German and Slovenian. Accessible to all, this guide allows hikers and nature lovers to become familiar with the alpine fauna.

Summary in French:
Un guide complet et facile d’accès sur l’un des plus riches territoires de France en nombre d’espèces de mammifères sauvages.

Les très nombreuses photographies offrent un panorama très complet de chaque espèce aidant ainsi à l’identification. Les noms communs sont indiqués en français, anglais, italien, allemand et slovène. Accessible à tous, ce guide permet aux randonneurs et aux amoureux de la nature de pénétrer dans l’intimité de la faune alpine.
