From the rain forests of the Amazon to the plains of Africa, Land Mammals of the World guides you on an exploration of the world's most fascinating mammals.

Land Mammals of the World will take you on a journey of exploration of the world's most fascinating mammals, from the fierce Grizzly Bear of North America, to the leaping kangaroos of Australia. Naturalists in the making can imagine themselves immersed in exotic habitats both near and far, from the rain forests of the Amazon to the grassy plains of Africa.

This naturalist's notebook gives budding biologists and zoologists the opportunity to explore new and unfamiliar species by providing fascinating facts about each featured mammal, including its scientific name, average size, habitat, and diet, as well as the subtle differences between subspecies. From the great apes of the jungle, to the swift cheetahs of the savanna, to the hulking rhinoceri, adventure awaits as you travel across the globe to catch a glimpse of the world's most wondrous mammals.
