The definitive photographic guide to the mammals of Spain, Portugal and the Balearic Islands.
With rushing rivers, steep mountains, and a rich variety of forests, the Iberian Peninsula is home to a wealth of wildlife. Over recent years, areas of conservation and rewilding have seen mammals such as the Grey Wolf and the endemic Iberian Ibex and Iberian Lynx thrive, making it an increasingly popular destination for ecotourists. Written by celebrated wildlife photographer Carlos Bocos Gonzalez and naturalist James Lowen, this guide covers all 99 terrestrial mammal species resident in the region.
Each species account includes concise details on the animal’s behaviour, habitat and activity periods, as well as full colour photographs and descriptions of key features to aid accurate identification. Practical guidance for finding wildlife is also provided, including an overview of some of the best locations, seven recommended mammalwatching itineraries and information on how to watch mammals safely, responsibly and effectively.
Portable yet authoritative, this is the perfect guide for travellers and wildlife enthusiasts visiting this spectacular region.
