Features: Wildlife is the heritage of natural history, an important part of the biosphere, and a valuable resource and common wealth of all humanity. However, due to deforestation, environmental pollution, reckless logging and hunting, many wildlife, including mammals, have suffered catastrophic losses and are disappearing from the world at an alarming rate, reaching the most severe level in history. The extinction of wildlife and the resulting crisis serve as a warning to people to protect the natural environment, because an environment that cannot support wildlife may one day no longer be suitable for human survival. How to effectively protect mammals and other wildlife and fully rescue rare and endangered species has become an urgent and pressing task facing humanity. Wildlife conservation reflects the scientific and cultural literacy of a country and a nation. Understanding and recognizing the morphology, habits, and value of wildlife is an important way to help people understand the significance of wildlife conservation and enhance their awareness of protecting wildlife. This book introduces the classification status, morphological characteristics, life habits, and reproductive patterns of over 1,200 species of mammals through photographs and text descriptions. We hope that through the introduction in this book, readers will gain a more comprehensive and profound understanding of mammals, and at the same time, enjoy the beauty of these animal images.
