The fifty-one species of kangaroos, wallabies and rat-kangaroos illustrated in this deluxe limited edition include some of the most popular and engaging of Australian marsupials.
The 50 superb watercolour paintings by Rosemary Woodford Ganf reveal the fine anatomical detail of these creatures, and include authentic backgrounds showing typical plant species from the habitat of each animal. The illustrations are supported by authoritative scientific text by zoologists John Calaby and Tim Flannery. Each species is described by diagnosis, size, description, ecology, reproduction and distribution.
This is the third volume in the artist’s series, Marsupials of Australia, one of the outstanding natural-history works of the twentieth century. Volume 1, covering the possums, koalas and wombats, is available on the antiquarian book market, and Volume 2 on the Carnivorous Marsupials and Bandicoots is also available.
