Wildlife of Britain

For each species, you'll find identifying features, along with insights into their habits, lifespan, and habitat guides – essentially, where these animals typically reside. Recognizing that some animal groups bear a striking resemblance to one another, comparative charts are included to aid in differentiation. For smaller creatures, such as mice, size is indicated by separate measurements for head and body length, and tail length. For larger wild animals, like deer, size is denoted by shoulder height. For farm animals, such as cattle, size is expressed through weight, as many breeds share similar shoulder heights but exhibit distinct differences in overall mass. To illuminate how an animal's behavior is intertwined with its physical structure and lifestyle, the book outlines the reasons behind the diverse feeding, reproductive, and behavioral patterns observed. Distribution maps are provided for each wild species within the book. Field Guide ◸ Wildlife of Britain Published ◸ 1984~1989 Binding ◸ Hardback Edition Dimensions ◸ 20.5 x 15.5 cm Pages ◸ 319
