Collins Field Guide to New Zealand Wildlife by Lindsey, Terence R.; Lindsey, Terence - 2000

Auckland: HarperCollins New Zealand, 2000. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A very clean copy. There are guidebooks for birds, guidebooks for mammals, even guidebooks for reptiles, but none exists for all New Zealand's wildlife. That's what makes the Field Guide to New Zealand so different. Listing well over 250 species, from southern right whales to springtails, from kakapo to kokopu, this practical and portable reference guide contains all the basic information you need to identify some of the most commonly encountered animals in New Zealand, both native and introduced. The concise text, distribution maps and colour photographs tell you what an animal looks like, where it lives what it is called, and what it does. Written by leading natural history writer Terence Lindsey, and featuring more than 250 magnificent colour photographs by celebrated wildlife photographer Rod Morris, this book will be the automatic first choice for travellers, tourists and students of New Zealand Wildlife.
