Two of the most iconic families of mammals in Africa and Asia are the elephants and rhinos. Three species of elephants--African Bush, African Forest, and Asian--and five species of rhinos--White, Black, One-horned, Sumatran, and Javan--continue to fascinate scientists, naturalists, and wildlife enthusiasts. These mammals also receive significant attention from conservationists who work to restore the populations of all eight species to more stable levels. This portable resource covers the evolution of these species, the roles they play in ecosystems, and the various threats they face. There are also notes on their natural history, including behavior, survival techniques, and habitats requirements. A handy section on observation tips and information on what we can all do to conserve and protect elephants and rhinos round out a comprehensive 12-panel folding pocket guide that is laminated to withstand use in all conditions. Made in the USA.
