<p>Following the success of the earlier <i>Scatalog</i> – <i>Quick ID guide to southern African animal droppings</i>, here’s another quick and quirky identification guide, this time to tracks of the region’s most commonly found mammals, but also includes tracks of reptiles, rodents, birds and insects. A simple key on the inside front cover directs users to any of 11 categories, such as ‘cloven hooves’, ‘paws’ or 'tramline-like trails'. Nearly 100 animals or closely related groups of animals are depicted; for each, there’s<br>• a silhouette of front and back feet and a colour photograph of the track<br>• the average measurements for each track<br>• a short description of the track<br>• information about the circumstances and likely habitat<br>Concise and to-the-point, this pocket-sized reference will prove indispensible in the field, no matter the experience of the user.</p>
