A Field Guide to the Mammals of Australia (ISBN 0195550374)

THE field guide:
Peter Menkhorst's book is widely regarded as THE field guide to the mammals of Australia. Compact and easy to use, with fantastic illustrations by Frank Knight, its a must for anyone interested in identifying Australia's diverse mammalian fauna.

Mammals from the Down Under:
I've been doing alot of research on illustrating various Australian Mammals and found that this book is the most compacted of all reference materials. You get the whole animal to view. So many times when cross researching you find yourself struggling to figure out what the animals feet really looks like, this book I find is really helpful.

best field guide for mammals of australia:
In fact, it is the only real field guide to the mammals of Australia. The Australian museum book is great of course, but is a reference book for home, whereas this is the perfect field guide. The drawings are pretty well spot and capture the look of the animal in the field quite well. Also, very recent. Great book, and good value.
