Index

Every animal leaves some indication of its presence or its passing - a track, a dropping, a feeding sign or perhaps just a depression in the grass. By reading these signs you can gather fascinating information about tha animal's behaviour, its feeding pattern, its movements and its relationship with its environment.

A Field Guideto the Tracks & Signs of Southern and East African Wildlife is unique in its approach to identification. It allows you to first look at the track or sign and then, by means of keys, to determine the animal group or species responsible for what you see. The keys refer you to detailed descriptions and illustrations.

The book is arranged  to enable quick identification. There are chapters on;

• tracks

• droppings and bird pellets

• feeding sihns

• nests and shelterother signs (such as mudwallows, scent marks feathers and shed skins)

• skulls
