Infos

This illustrated field guide to the animals and plants of southern Africa is updated with all the latest taxonomy and common names. It features over 2 000 carefully selected plants and animals, large and small, that are likely to be encountered during a visit to any part of the region. More than 1200 species are illustrated and many more are identifiable from the text through reference to similar species. Each group is colour coded for easy reference; for quick identification, diagnostic features are in bold text within the concise descriptions. It would be hard to find a more useful field guide that covers all the major groups of plants and animals in the southern African region. This is the ideal companion for all who venture outdoors - visitors to game parks, hikers, holiday-makers, birders, game viewers and gardeners.
