Overview

This is the first book to comprehensively describe Victoria's mammal fauna, and one of the most detailed books yet produced on any portion of Australia's mammalian wildlife. It provides concise summaries of current knowledge about the ecology, distribution, abundance and conservation needs of 137 species of mammals found in Victoria since the earliest exploration by Europeans, a range of animals which includes virtually all mammals occurring anywhere in the entire continent of Australia. Written by mammal specialists from the Flora and Fauna Branch of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the books draws on over 30 years of research of Victoria's mammals. Detailed maps show the distribution of each species, and introductory sections define the major groups of mammals and summarize their evolutionary history. Ecologists, biologists, and land managers will welcome this book.
