A new addition to the successful ‘Quick ID guide’ series, Primates is a succinct survey of the features and habits of our closest relatives. Divided into the three main primate groups — great apes, typical monkeys and prosimians (including the bushbabies) — this easy-to-use guide provides pertinent facts, annotated photographs and up-to-date distribution maps to help readers accurately identify the most commonly seen and charismatic primates in the field. Each entry features: full-colour photographs with pointers to diagnostic features; size, lifespan, key ID features; behavioural characteristics, diet, conservation status and similar species; distribution maps. A valuable guide for anyone with an interest in Africa’s primates and their habits.
