One of the keys to understanding the life of the bush is through identifying the droppings of wild animals. Whether you call it scat, poop, spraint, tath or fewmets, the presence of a pile of this stuff on the garden lawn, a pathway through the veld or on the windshield of your car will lead to the question of who left it there. br> In this book you will find images and identification hints for the faecal deposits of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and even insect, mollusc and arachnid life. Ideal as a handbook in the bush, staying in a game park or in the collection of a wildlife researcher, this book is a wonderful aid and resource.

A must-have book for nature lovers, encouraging them to look a little closer. Invertebrates of Southern Africa and their Tracks & Signs covers a never-before-explored aspect of Southern African nature and is an essential new addition to the library of every nature lover. It was researched and written over the last four and a half years to open a door to a little known micro-world that exists all around us. Invertebrates – which include commonly seen creatures such as butterflies, spiders, beetles, worms and scorpions – are everywhere. The signs of their day-to-day activities are all around us if we know where to look. The life cycles and behaviors of many animals are discussed, with a special focus on interactions between mammals and invertebrates. While working on this book, Lee Gutteridge spent many hours in the field with expert entomologists and arachnologists, many of whom commented that even though they had spent a lifetime in the field, this experience of invertebrate tracking had changed the way that they see the invertebrate world.
