Eighty-six magnificent specially commissioned colour plates by top wildlife artist Priscilla Barrett depict each
species, with subspecies and colour variations shown for many. There are line drawings of skulls (230) and footprints (110), as well as black-and-white sketches depicting the behaviour of specific species (45). This is an essential reading for anyone interested in wildlife - appeals to travellers, wildlife enthusiasts, mammal students, conservation planners and specialists.The countries with many of the most spectacular carnivores are of key importance as ecotourism destinations.
