A complete and accessible guide to on one of the richest territories of France in number of wild mammal species. Often shy and difficult to observe, mammals are fascinating animals whose study is made exciting by the diversity of forms and behaviours that characterize them.
This guide details the 89 species of mammals from the Alpine arc, from species with a broad ecological spectrum to animals specially adapted to mountain environments, not to mention mythical species such as the bear or wolf and the emblematic chamois and ibex.
After a general presentation of the Alps and advice for the observation of animals, the book presents each species in detail, giving a general description, ecology, biology, a map, and altitudinal distribution. The numerous photographs offer a very complete picture of each species, thus aiding identification. Common names are given in English, French, Italian, German and Slovenian. Accessible to all, this guide allows hikers and nature lovers to become familiar with the alpine fauna.
