This is the first comprehensive illustrated guide to the natural
world of the Caribbean islands. It contains 600 vivid color images
featuring 451 species of plants, birds, mammals, fish, seashells,
and much more. While the guide primarily looks at the most
conspicuous and widespread species among the islands, it also
includes rarely seen creatures--such as the Rhinoceros Iguana and
Cuban Solenodon--giving readers a special sense of the region's
diverse wildlife.
Each species is represented by one or more color photos or
illustrations; details regarding its identification, status, and
distribution; and interesting aspects of its life history or
relationship to humans. In addition, an introductory section
focuses on the unique characteristics of the Caribbean's fauna and
flora, the threats faced by both, and some of the steps being taken
to sustain the area's extraordinary natural heritage.
