 Rating: - wonderfulThis is a superb book both in the amazing photographs and drawings but also in the information conveyed in the text. A treasure! Rating: - Outstanding!Ecotourists visiting Madagascar are really lucky. After the excellent "Birds of the Indian Ocean Islands" an excellent, affordable field guide to mammals in now finally available! It's hard to know where to start praising this book, but perhaps most importantly, it really IS complete, describing all mammal species found in Madagascar. The species accounts are incredibly detailed, not only providing extensive info on each species' appearence, behaviour, habitat & distribution, but even telling you where to go to see each one! Of course excellent photographs (except for a few obscure rodents and bats) and very detailed range maps accompany each species as well. Additionally, there are highly informative chapters on the various habitats found in Madagascar, on conservation issues, and finally detailed descriptions of the country's top mammal-watching sites, with lists of the most important species to be expected, access, facilities, best season to visit... For those seriously interested, there is an incredibly long bibliography listing as well. If I really had to make one complaint about this book, it would be that the format is a bit too large to be convenient for carrying in the field. I wish it could be smaller and thicker, but this size may have been necessary to accomodate several impressive full-page sized photographs.  Try searching the Internet for "Guide to the Mammals of Madagascar" or Ebay for "Guide to the Mammals of Madagascar". You might also be interested in the following great products:
