This volume in the ECOTRAVELLERS' WILDLIFE GUIDES presents the up-to-date information needed to find, identify and learn about the region's wildlife. Reserves and sites are listed, underwater life is described and the illustrations are of both animal and plant life with their habitats.
Most Ecotravellers to southern Mexico-Cancun and the Yucatan Peninsula, Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Tabasco--want to experience tropical forests and other stunning habitats, as well as catch a glimpse of exotic wildlife, including toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, hawks, monkeys, anteaters, frogs, toads, crocodiles and snakes. In this book is all the information you need to find, identify and learn about this region's magnificent animal life. The author visited national parks and nature reserves, discussed wildlife with local and international experts as well as veteran tour leaders, and then selected for color illustrations more than 500 of the most common fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals--the species you are most likely to see. In one easy-to-carry, entertainingly written, beautifully illustrated book, you will have a constant companion on your journey.
