This new addition to a popular series delves into a fascinating
field of New Zealand's natural history. In prehistory, only a few
bats, marine mammals and odd quadrupeds constituted our local
land-breeding mammals; but today these have been joined by a throng
of colonisers. These include several carnivores, rodents, and
various hoofed mammals from Europe and North America, as well as
several marsupials from Australia. Many are unwelcome: some have
decimated native birds and reptiles, while others attack the bush;
but all are now here to stay and are worthy of study for their
interesting habits and ecological impact. In addition to these land
mammals are more than two dozen native species of marine mammal,
including dolphins and whales. This account from one of New
Zealand's premier mammalogists fills a gap in the market.
