Easy reading, good photos,
By bike girl (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Field Guide to Mammals of Southern Africa (Field Guide To... (Struik Publishers)) (Paperback)
Used this for years on safari, easy to read with good photos for identification. Loads of interesting facts and figures. Loved finding the three striped mice as much as lions!

Field Guide to the Mammals of Southern Africa,
By Shawna A. Karpovich - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Field Guide to Mammals of Southern Africa (Paperback)
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. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

photo identification made easy,
By G. T. Taylor "birder" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Field Guide to Mammals of Southern Africa (Field Guide To... (Struik Publishers)) (Paperback)
This is truly an excellent book,a joy to look at,packed with lots of information.However it is not really a book suitable to be taken in the field,the authors smaller book mammals of southern,central and eastern africa would be a better book to take into the field.The authors really know the animals and their passion for the subject comes out in their writing.

Good source for species identification,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chris and Tilde Stuart's Field Guide to the Mammals of Southern Africa (Hardcover)
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. |
