About the Book

The latest in the popular ‘Quick ID Guide’ series, this compact little book is an easy-to-use identification guide to the whales, dolphins and seals found in southern African waters and the Southern Ocean. Close to 50 species occur here: from the demonstrative Humpback Whale and Dusky Dolphin to the striking Leopard Seal and massive Blue Whale. This title introduces the key identification features, behaviours, diets and distribution of whales, dolphins and seals; explains breaching, bow-surfing, lob-tailing and other common behaviours; features detailed illustrations of each species’ diagnostic characteristics; includes the diving outlines as well as breathing ‘blow’ and tail shapes of common whales on inside covers for quick reference.

Sales points: Quick and easy ID guide by highly regarded authors; packed with full-colour photos and labelled illustrations; handy pocket format at excellent price point.
