A Field Guide to the Carnivores of the World

Second Edition

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

All true carnivores trace their lineage back to an ancient common ancestor and many exhibit similar behaviours and adaptations despite a huge variation in species, from the now largely vegetarian giant panda to the common weasel. This guide comprises colour illustrations, distribution maps and descriptions for 250 species, with notes on habitat, behaviour, feeding ecology, social patterns and conservation. A final section provides visual identification guides to skulls and footprints.
