Field Guide to the Mammals of Mongolia

Field Guide to the Mammals of Mongolia

Mongolia covers a range of habitats: not only steppe grassland but also mountains, forests, deserts, and lakes. Due to this and its geography, it contains a very diverse assemblage of animals and plants, with species from both Asia and Europe represented. Very little is known about some Mongolian mammal species, and as more become threatened it is important to increase knowledge in an effort to conserve them. This book aims to provide information on the tracks and signs of Mongolian mammals to students, and anyone else interested in identifying the presence of mammals in the countryside. It includes photographs of 140 species of mammals involving livestock, and their distribution maps in Mongolia along with pictures of scats, skulls, and tracks.
