A comprehensive, field-ready and illustrated guide to the mammals of India, this book covers a rich variety of species, from tigers, elephants, rhinos and whales to primates, rodents and bats. Accompanied by full-colour photographs and distribution maps, and based on scientific research reviewed by experts, it records details on virtually every mammal known to exist in India. The in-depth, up-to-date text by Vivek Menon, one of India’s leading naturalists and an authority on Indian wildlife, describes key identification features, biometrics, behaviour, social strategies, habitat and distribution, managing to be both encyclopedic and accessible.
