Synopsis:
Written in a style readily understood by the general reader, this book surveys the rich and varied world of Australian mammals, including such creatures as koalas, kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, dingos, and wombats. Because of the continent's isolation, Australian mammals have developed as no where else on earth. The native fauna is composed largely of marsupials (pouched mammals) and monotremes (egg-laying mammals).
A magnificent photographic record, this book provides an account of every native species as well as introduced species now living in a wild state. Each species account summarizes behavior and habitat, diet, reproduction and growth, and factors that lead to death. Covering everything that is known about an animal's current biology and survival status, the book presents detailed statistical information alongside the fascinating and peculiar details of animals' lives.
Many of the creatures depicted here are shy, rare, and unfamiliar to the general reader. Many are threatened with extinction. Mammals of Australia can only aid in fostering appreciation of their fragility and uniqueness.
Synopsis: Provides an account of the various species of native mammal known to have existed in Australia since European settlement and the various introduced species living in a wild state in contemporary times.
