The Mammals of Israel, (Paperback)

This is the first comprehensive book to describe and illustrate in color all the species and races of mammals of Israel and will be helpful in their identification. The Mammals of Israel includes their habits, habitat, distribution and taxonomic remarks on the status of certain species and races. A resume' of the zoogeography of Israel introduces the reader to the mammals that inhabited the region in prehistoric times. It is hoped that in view of the danger to the survival of wild animals, this book will increase awareness of the wonderful wildlife heritage of Israel, enhance the appreciation and study of mammals, and help protect the mammals of the country for future generations.
