Contains clear and concise descriptions of all native species as well as introduced species. The animals are listed in zoological order and grouped according to their class and family. Each species account explains what the animal looks like; how it reproduces and cares for its young; where it is found and whether its existence is threatened. Each account is accompanied by a map showing the animal's distribution and a full-colour photograph. Common and scientific names are indexed separately, while a comprehensive glossary and translations of scientific names make the information contained within these volumes easily accessible.
