Description

---

This handy guide provides an introduction to more than 120 species of mammals found in North Africa and the Middle East. The authoritative text includes key facts about identification, habitat, behavior, distribution, and status, and each species is illustrated with color photographs, including many never previously published.

Illustrated with clear color photography and brief but authoritative descriptions, the Pocket Photo Guides highlight the species of birds and animals from each region that the traveler is most likely to see, as well as those that are genuinely endemic (only to be seen in that country or region) or special rarities. The genuine pocket size allow the books to be carried around on trips and excursions and will take up minimal rucksack and suitcase space.
