An essential fieldguide for any naturalist exploring Oman or neighbouring countries of the Arabian Peninsula. The first book to present all of the known mammals of Oman in a single volume. The invaluable fieldguide is aimed at a wide audience – from visitors and residents, through to amateur naturalists and environmental professionals. Its purpose is twofold. Firstly, it is a guide to finding and identifying the mammals of Oman, be they on the land, at sea or in the air – a key reference, explaining habits of the the mammals, supplying maps of known distribution and signs that may be used to find species, many of which occur at low densities and are nocturnal or highly elusive. The book’s second purpose is to inspire people, whether they are Omanis, residents or visitors, to go out to find and enjoy Oman’s unique wild mammals. An encounter with a wild mammal can happen at any time.
