Madagascar is also one of the world\u2019s four major regions for primates, with 112 endemic species and subspecies of lemur. Given Madagascar\u2019s unique biodiversity, and the relative ease with which it can be observed and enjoyed, it should be one of the world\u2019s premier ecotourism destinations, and this book is intended to facilitate such tourism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This book will equip residents and visitors to the region with an easy-to-use resource that will allow them to quickly learn about the 253 terrestrial and marine mammals that occur there. The most up-to-date reference on the region\u2019s mammals, it has a\u00a0description and illustration of every mammal species and subspecies found on Madagascar, and also includes the mammals of the nearby islands of the Comoros, the Seychelles, R\u00e9union and Mauritius, which are also part of the Madagascar and Indian Ocean Islands Hotspot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This book is part of the Lynx Illustrated Checklists collection, created from the vast wealth of data, illustrations and maps compiled for the\u00a0<em>Handbook of the Mammals of the World series<\/em>, that have been distilled into useful and portable books for your visits to specific destinations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":65811,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[52,373,374,19],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-53071","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-afrotropical","7":"product_cat-illustrated-checklists","8":"product_cat-lynx-illustrated-checklists-collection","9":"product_cat-mammals","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/53071"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53071"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=53071"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=53071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
