Simple bulleted text highlights key features of the tracks of some 200 animals - from predators and large mammals to birds and insects - and, where applicable, their habits, diet, droppings and territorial behavior. Multiple photographs - many annotated - of the animals, their tracks, dung, middens and scrapes, show what signs to look for. Additional features include a handy table of bird track sizes and a table for comparing footprints of animal species that are easily confused. An instructive and wide-ranging introduction covers the latest in track morphology, animal gaits, track age recognition, and the skills and mindset required for successful identification.<br><br>This detailed and richly illustrated manual to the region's animal tracks and signs will prove invaluable in the field and for visitors interested in accurately interpreting the most obvious - and not so obvious - signs of the wild.
