The definitive comprehensive photographic field guide to the larger mammals of continental South America

South America's wide range of habitats support a tremendous diversity of plants and animals, including more than 400 species of larger mammals-those the size of a guinea pig or bigger. Many are truly iconic: Jaguar, Puma, Ocelot and numerous other beautiful cats; the fantastic Maned Wolf; the incomparable Giant Anteater; and an incredible variety of extraordinary primates. This groundbreaking guide provides detailed coverage of these and many other wonderful mammals, including porcupines and peccaries; squirrels, sloths, skunks and seals; opossums, olingos and otters; armadillos, agoutis and Andean Bear; and viscachas and Vicua-not to mention tapirs and river and estuarine dolphins.

The species accounts include a description of key features and information on subspecies, comparisons with similar species that overlap in range, details of the habitats in which the species occurs, a summary of its distribution in South America and information on its conservation status. Each species is illustrated with carefully selected photos, or artwork where suitable photos were not available.

Detailed coverage of 420 species
Showcases over 550 stunning photos, many of rarely photographed species
Features specially commissioned artwork for almost 100 species, including comparative plates of all marmosets and titi monkeys
Includes up-to-date distribution maps
