Natuurgids Stuart's Field Guide to Mammals of Southern Africa | Struik Nature
Veldgids met alle zoogdieren van zuidelijk Afrika. Met de duidelijke foto's is determinatie niet moeilijk meer. Verspreidingskaarten, soortbeschrijving en aandacht voor habitat e.d. Southern Africa has a wealth of mammal species, a total of 337 all of which are covered in this fully revised comprehensive field guide. While the term 'African mammals' conjures up the more celebrated species of elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard and rhino, it is in fact the smaller animals  shrews, genets, suricates and bats – that comprise the bulk of the region's mammal species. And, often overlooked but included here too is the diversity of marine mammals seals, whales and dolphins that are found in our oceans. This new edition of Field Guide to Mammals of Southern Africa has been extensively revised to include the most recent research in line with new findings and new taxonomy. Up-to-date information, revised distribution maps and new images (where available) have been combined in a modern, full-colo…

Natuurgids First Field Guide to Animal Tracks of Southern Africa | Struik Nature
Natuurgids First Field Guide to Animal Tracks of Southern Africa | Struik Nature
Dit handzame gidsje is een goed hulpmiddel voor het spotten van de sporen van meest voorkomende dieren in zuidelijk Afrika. Met kleurenfoto's, tekeningen van pootafdrukken en kaartjes van leefgebieden. The First Field Guide to Animal Tracks of Southern Africa will help to decipher the more common tracks encountered in southern Africa. The animal's spoor may vary according to its age, mass, sex and condition. It may also have a unique way of walking or a particular habit that distinguishes it from other individuals of the same species. People today are often not familiar with the immense variety of animal life that surrounds them, simply because most animals are rarely seen. To a 'spoor conscious' tracker, however, animal tracks may reveal the activities of a multitude of animals. Leopards, for example, are very elusive and thus hardly ever seen. They have the uncanny ability to live near human settlements, often on the periphery of large cities. Finding leopard tracks in unexpected pl…

Natuurgids - Vogelgids Birds and Mammals of the Galapagos | Lynx
Natuurgids - Vogelgids Birds and Mammals of the Galapagos | Lynx
The Galapagos archipelago is one of the most famous destinations on Earth for lovers of natural history. Straddling the equator in the Pacific Ocean c. 1000 km west of Ecuador lies ‘the world’s natural laboratory’ with its large radiations of mockingbirds and Darwin’s finches. These remote islands of volcanic origin have been colonized by a remarkable and diverse wildlife, many of the animals being quite fearless of man. With 33 endemic bird species plus 12 endemic subspecies, and six endemic mammals, the islands are unsurprisingly popular with birders and general naturalists alike. This comprehensive field guide covers all of the birds and mammals known to occur, providing the latest insights on field identification and taxonomy for challenging groups such as pelagic birds, Darwin’s finches, and cetaceans. The Galapagos is also known for its vagrants, which too are covered in detail, including several new records not published previously. Many hypothetical and potential species have …

Birds of Central Asia includes 141 high-quality plates covering every species (and all distinctive races) that occur in the region, along with concise text focusing on identification and accurate colour maps.
