Synopsis
The author surveys the astonishing diversity of South-East Asian wildlife, a fauna that includes 660 distinct species, representing over one-seventh of the world's wild mammals. Among them are many mammals which cannot be found elsewhere: the gymnures and tree-shews, flying bats, tarsiers and orangutans, aboreal fruit eaters, anteaters, and numerous rodents. The text is enlivened by descriptions of scientific discoveries and personal anecdotes based on the author's long experience as a naturalist in the regions he describes.
