By Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne
Sri Lanka is a wildlife-watcher’s paradise, and reserves such as Yala and Sinharaja are now becoming worldfamous as ecotourism destinations. This guide includes detailed coverage of 43 species of mammal from the island, including such iconic creatures as the Leopard, Sloth Bear and Asian Elephant, as well as smaller mammals such as the various species of monkey, mongoose and giant squirrel. There is a general introduction with an overview of Sri Lankan mammals, and tips on where and how to watch them. Extended introductions to the families of mammals in the book discuss general characteristics of that group in Sri Lanka. Specific species accounts include details of appearance, distribution and status, as well as fascinating glimpses of the animals’ lives from the author’s own personal observations. Each species account is accompanied by at least one and in most cases several clear colour photographs of the subject.
