This fully revised and updated edition to the Mammals of Australia is the only comprehensive guide to identify all 382 species of mammals known on the continent. The book provides concise and accurate details of the appearance, diagnostic features, distribution, habitat, and key behavioural characteristics of all mammals known to have occurred in Australia or its waters since the time of European settlement.
Each double-page spread provides all the information needed to identify an animal, including full-colour illustrations, smaller diagrams with diagnostic features, distribution maps and measurements, including details of how to differentiate between similar species. Identification keys are provided for groups that are difficult to identify, including keys to the genera of small marsupials, rodents, and bats, and all marine mammals likely to be washed on to an Australian beach.
