Rodents of the World (Of the World Series),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Of all the mammals, rodents are undoubtedly the most significant single group. With some 1500 species, they constitute an amazing 40 per cent of the world's known mammal population. They have colonized the whole planet with the common house mouse now found on every continent including Antarctica.This latest title in the "Of the World" series describes the rodent families and their tremendously wide range of lifestyles from the subterraneandwelling blind mole rat to the spectacular flying squirrel, from the dambuilding beaver to the largest presentday rodent, the giant capybara of South America. There are accounts of their many interactions with man, from being despised pests and carriers of disease to being of economic importance as "farmed" animals for fur production or even as domestic pets.Full details are given of their evolution, classification and distribution, together with detailed descriptions of form and function, breeding and feeding habits. The text is enhanced throughout with distribution maps and over 100 color photographs.Despite the friendly images of rodents in the media, man has a generally unsympathetic view of most rodent species. This attitude has tended to mask the great danger of extinction which many species now face. This book details the need for conservation and describes the captive breeding programs now underway to ensure survival of this fascinating group of mammals whose adaptability for life on this planet is rivalled only by our own.
