This book satisfies the need for a comprehensive, up-to-date survey of existing knowledge of the area's mammals, both terrestrial and marine. This volume begins with a discussion of the historical biogeography and contemporary habitats of the region under consideration. Each subsequent chapter presents a separate mammalian order. The authors provide individual accounts for nearly 360 indigenous species, including information on size, appearance, ecology, behavior, and life history.
