Field Guide to Fynbos Fauna

South Africa's fynbos biome, which spans the country's Western and Eastern Cape provinces, is one of the richest floras in the world. This floral kingdom is also known for its remarkable variety of fauna, with some species occurring nowhere else - from the tiny micro frog to the brightly colored orange-breasted sunbird and the large, handsomely marked bontebok.

The first of its kind, this concise, up-to-date field guide covers 500 species in four animal groups: mammals, birds, reptiles and frogs. The species accounts include key identification features and are paired with full-color photographs and distribution maps. Popular tourist destinations such as the Cape Peninsula, the Kogelberg, the Cederberg, the Agulhas Plain, the West Coast and Baviaanskloof are included. Ideal for visitors, conservationists, and anyone with an interest in the region's natural history.
