South Africa Wildlife by James Kavanagh
With various world-renowned national parks and game reserves, as well as a dizzying species diversity, South Africa is widely considered the ultimate destination for observing and learning about African wildlife. Over 200 mammal species inhabit the nation's grasslands, savannas, forests, thickets, and deserts. These include such iconic species as lions, elephants, leopards, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest. Of the more than 800 bird species, standouts include bustards, sunbirds, rollers, cranes, hornbills, and sandgrouse. It's easy to get lost in the dizzying variety of life in the Rainbow Nation, so establishing a solid foundation of knowledge about the most familiar species is helpful. This beautifully illustrated resource features 140 common mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, as well as an ecoregion map showing top wildlife viewing hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, our lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide allows educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts to become better acquainted with the animals they are most likely to encounter in South Africa. Made in the USA.
