Publisher's Synopsis
Because of its climactic and topographic variability, KwaZulu-Natal is faunally extremely rich, containing over one-half of all the smaller mammals of the entire African subregion. This scientific text covers the lesser known small mammals of KwaZulu-Natal, including rodents, shrews, bats, elephant shrews, hares, primates, dassies, and the aardvark and pangolin. The book includes 103 species accounts, and nine new species of small mammals are reported in the province for the first time.
