A Guide to the Native and Introduced Animals of New Zealand. Colour photograph Illustrated and Indexed.
From the temperate coastal shores to the harsh alpine regions the wildlife of New Zealand comprises a marvellous variety of both indigenous and introduced fauna, a surprisingly extensive collection featuring an unparalleled birdlife and such unique species as the tuatara, New Zealand's 'living fossil', the kiwi, the takahe and the remarkable native grogs that have no tadpole stage.
The AA Book of New Zealand Wildlife traces the natural history in a comprehensive and provocative study of the diverse inhabitants of each habitat. It outlines the impact of man on his surroundings, the ensuing changes and problems, and the measures being taken to avert the threat of extinction and restore balance by protecting and conserving an extraordinary nature heritage.
