Dewey Decimal Number: 599.094 EAN: 9780002197793 ISBN: 0002197790 Label: Harpercollins Pub Ltd Manufacturer: Harpercollins Pub Ltd Number Of Pages: 312 Publication Date: 1999-02 Publisher: Harpercollins Pub Ltd Studio: Harpercollins Pub Ltd Editorial Review: Product Description: This book covers every species of mammal that occur in Europe and in the seas around it, over 230 species, in detail. The text not only covers the vital information for identifying the differences between a rabbit and a hare, a red deer and a roe deer, or a killer whale and a long-finned pilot whale, or how to tell a red fox print from a dog, but also provides all the biological and taxonomic information you need to positively identify mammals. It also gives readers an insight into how the animals live, how crested porcupine adults keep their young warm crushing them between the parents, how many baby seals actually moult while still inside the mother and why the red fox can cause such destruction. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Most Complete Guide to Mammals of Europe!I have been searching for a couple years for such a book. This Collins Field Guide is the most complete and accurate guide to the mammals of this area. For example I discovered in this book that there is a species of wallaby the was introduced to Scotland. There are many beautifully illustrated plates in the guide. This is a must for any one interesed in the wildlife of Europe. |
