Africa is home to a greater number and variety of living forms than any other of the earth's subcontinents and the panorama that unfolds is magnificent in its beauty and drama. This guide, in which mammals predominate (though birds, amphibians, reptiles and insects also feature), is divided into four major sections based on animal behaviour, namely courtship and parenting; the quest for food; strategies for survival; and social organisation and interaction. The spectrum of African wildlife is boldly and vividly portrayed in this visually spectacular volume.
