This is the only field guide to provide comprehensive coverage of the mammals of Central America and southeast Mexico. The fully revised second edition includes 21 new species, as well as updated illustrations and distribution maps. Each species account provides measurements, descriptions, and comparisons with similar species, and is accompanied by a range map showing where the species can be found in the region.
The 49 full-color animal plates contain similar species portrayed to scale on the same plate, with tracks and feet shown on the facing-page. 4 new full-color maps provide visual views of parks and protected areas, biomes, elevations and habitat loss, as well as a political map of the region. The book also features a detailed introduction with sections on how and where to find mammals and a listing of the most endangered species in the region.

"Comprehensive, thorough listing of mammals of the area. Quite an achievement to capture it all. Good illustrations. Species descriptions include English and Spanish names, descriptions (with distinctive characteristics emphasized), distribution (with range map), status and habitat, habits of the animal, where to see it, and sometimes other comments, about things such as changes in taxonomy. Due to the diversity of the area, it's pretty heavy; so a book to leave behind in your room instead of carrying in the backpack."

A Field Guide to the Mammals of Central America and Southeast Mexico Fiona A Reid 9780195343236 Books Reviews
- Abundant information and good illustrations. I wish the maps were included on the color plates instead of being put with the information in the systematic section. Upon looking more thoroughly through the book, I have discovered that the number of species covered in the color plates is only 293, not the 346 that it claims. Overall, it is a pretty good book especially for the low price, though it doesn’t cover all the species that it claims to.
- Comprehensive, thorough listing of mammals of the area. Quite an achievement to capture it all. Good illustrations. Species descriptions include English and Spanish names, descriptions (with distinctive characteristics emphasized), distribution (with range map), status and habitat, habits of the animal, where to see it, and sometimes other comments, about things such as changes in taxonomy. Due to the diversity of the area, it's pretty heavy; so a book to leave behind in your room instead of carrying in the backpack.
- Excellent pictures and good information. In excellent preparation for our trip there.
- Used this in Central America. I really enjoyed the images, and could look at mammals (bats) and see the resemblance to properly identify the species. I would add to my personal field guide collection. A must for any biologist studying in Central America.
- I know the author, Fiona Reid, personally. Fiona is now retired, but was a long-time natural history educator. This book is well-done and comprehensive, with range maps and both black-and-white and color illustrations. The illustrations were all done by Fiona herself. I recommend it.
- Too big & too heavy for a "Field Guide". Not practical so I ordered another book,' Watching Wildlife Central America'... haven't received it yet.
- The book arrived fast and is in great condition. This is one of the best books for identifying/enjoying mammals in the stated region (I've used copies from my colleagues and needed my own, finally).
- This is a great book, full with updated information and precious drawings by the author. Following the style of similar books, this is not only a field guide but also a reference on basic data about these species, including distribution (maps for each species), ecology, morphology and particular behavior for most species.
Fully recommended for biologists working on this region.
