Tracks and Signs


Tracks & Signs
of Southern and East African Wildlife

Every animal leaves some identification of its presence or its passing - a track, a dropping, a feeding sign or perhaps just a depression in the grass. By reading these signs you can learn fascinating information about the animal's behaviour, its feeding pattern, its movements and its relationship with its environment.

A Field guide to the Tracks and Signs of Southern and East African Wildlife is unique in its approach to identification. It allows you to look first at the track or sign and then, by means of keys, to determine the animal group of species responsible for what you see. The keys refer you to detailed descriptions and illustrations.

The book is arranged to enable quick identification. There are chapters on:

  • tracks

  • droppings and bird pellets

  • feeding signs

  • other signs (such as mud-wallows, scent-marks and shed skin)

  • skulls

    This book will provide you with hours of pleasure when game watching, hiking, on farms and even in your garden.
