A Field Guide to the
ANIMAL TRACKS
of Southern Africa
Louis Liebenberg
This is the
first comprehensive field guide to the animal tracks of
southern Africa.
In the first,
introductory section, author Louis Liebenberg explains
how to identify and interpret spoor, and how to master
the basics of tracking.
The second
and far larger part contains the field guide proper, and
includes sections on the invertebrates, amphibians,
reptiles, birds and mammals of the sub-continent. In
addition to almost a hundred pages of highly accurate
illustrations of spoor, drawn from the field, the guide
provides detailed entries describing the prominent
features of the spoor and general information on the
animals - their size, identification, habits,
distribution and habitat. Distribution maps are also
included.
The book is
arranged for easy cross-reference, and is meant to be of
real scientific and practical use in the field. Louis
Liebenberg is the author of The Art of Tracking: The
Origin of Science (published by David Philip), which
deals with the theory of tracking.
