Field Guide to the Mammals of Southern Africa

Rating:
Summary: Good source for species identification
Review: The is book has become a diary for collecting plainsgame in Southern Africa. I have kept notes and records in this book to track animals I have collected and those remaining on my wish list.

Additionally I recommend this book for those who are on their first few trips to So. Africa for a hunting expedition or site-seeing holidays.

Summary: Field Guide to the Mammals of Southern Africa
Review: This book is nicely organized. The animals are separated into their prospective families. This is especially helpful for the scientific minded reader. While on safari if I see an animal that is most likely a carnivore, I will know exactly where to look it up.

The pictures are very clear and the description focuses on the distinguishing characters of each species. The descriptions are very logical and easy to follow... i.e. the blaze on the nose of this antelope is continuous therefore, it is species A, where the blaze on the nose of the next antelope (which looks just like species A) is not continuous, therefore it is species B.
