Publisher's Synopsis
In this title in the popular series of 'quick ID guides', trusty authors Chris and Mathilde Stuart describe and explain with entertaining brevity the habits of the more commonly found mammals of southern and East Africa. Behaviours covered include territorial activity (maintaining and defending a territory or home range), social interaction, mating and breeding, communication, feeding, and personal hygiene. A numbering system matches text with action photographs that capture characteristic behaviour, making this the ultimate compact ID guide to the sometimes baffling rituals of the region's wild animals.
