| Synopsis: |
Authoritative and engaging, this volume from the "Walker's Mammals" series focuses on marsupials, pouched animals whose unusual method of reproduction - between egg laying and placental birth - places them in a unique category among mammals. A comprehensive guide to the biology and distribution of marsupials, this book includes common and scientific names, size and physical traits, habitat and ecology, behavior and social interactions, reproduction, life span, and conservation. The text is coupled with illustrations from the collections of leading photographers and the world's greatest museums. An introduction by marsupial expert Christopher R. Dickman describes the evolution and current status of marsupials and reveals why they add so much intrigue to the natural world. |
