Peter Best's extensive knowledge and wealth of unpublished information, accumulated over 40 years of study, has resulted in this first stand-alone, definitive account of the marine cetaceans from the equator to Antarctica, covering almost two-thirds of marine cetacean species. Includes 100 colour photographs by world-renowned marine mammal illustrator, Pieter Folkens.
This book is the first stand-alone and definitive account of the cetaceans of the oceanic region from the equator to Antarctica, and between the longitudes of 20° W and 80° E - a region that includes almost two-thirds of the world''s marine cetacean species. In the fascinating accounts of 51 species of whales and dolphins (and one porpoise), information for this region is comprehensively summarised, allowing Peter Best to give us the benefit of his extensive knowledge and of the wealth of unpublished information he has accumulated during his 40 years of studying these creatures. Approximately 100 illustrations have been created in colour for this book by world-renowned marine mammal illustrator Pieter Folkens. Colour photographs of the living animal portray the ''jizz'' of each species and specific coloration or behavioural features.
