    The 4th edition of the most prestigious book dedicated to Australian Mammals (bar HMW5) coming in April. The 3rd edition is a piece of art and I am eagerly looking forward to this book.

    Strahan's Mammals of Australia


    "Strahan’s Mammals of Australia is the best book available on the subject, being the most definitive, comprehensive and up-to-date. It provides a written account of every species of native mammal known to have existed in Australia since European settlement, with 403 species covered in total. It is beautifully illustrated with more than 1,500 colour photographs, while each species account includes a detailed description of the animal and its behaviour. Species covered range from marsupials, monotremes and rodents through to bats, seals and whales.

    The new edition sees the addition of 14 newly described species and includes all the latest taxonomic treatments and many changes to names (to common and scientific names) and other features that have been accepted in the 14 years that have passed since the publication of the Third Edition."
