Description:

Pocket Guide to the Mammals of Costa Rica is the first guide to provide comprehensive coverage of every currently known mammal species found in Costa Rica. From the Central American Silky Anteater to the West Indian Manatee, Fiona A. Reid and Gianfranco Gomez Zamora introduce readers to over 200 species inhabiting the country and its waters. This pocket guide features:

* 60 plates with full-color illustrations and over 100 photographs

* An illustrated introduction covering the history of mammalogy in Costa Rica, how to find mammals, and more

* Up-to-date species accounts, range maps, and natural history vignettes

Lavishly illustrated and highly portable, the Pocket Guide to the Mammals of Costa Rica is indispensable for biologists, eco-tourists, and naturalists eager to learn more about the mammalian fauna of this small but biologically rich country.
