What is The Encyclopedia of Mammals about?

Explore the astonishing world of mammals, from tiny shrews and flying lemurs to powerful elephants, bats, big cats and whales. This illustrated reference book explains what makes a mammal, how these animals evolved and how scientists classify them. Clear sections investigate biology, behaviour, habitats and remarkable adaptations, while photographs, diagrams and maps reveal life in forests, deserts, oceans and grasslands. It also examines endangered species and the ways conservation can help protect mammals around the world.
