The Guide to Victorian Wildlife is the only comprehensive guide to identifying all 662 species of amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds that inhabit Victoria and its territorial waters, including five species that occur nowhere else. Detailed and user-friendly accounts of each species include physical descriptions, distribution maps, details on where and when to see each species, preferred habitat types, elevational ranges, similar species and how to tell them apart, plus notes on subspecies, conservation status, and ecology. Over 1,700 images help identify each species, including images of males, females, juveniles, a range of colour morphs, and variations in subspecies. Details on the 199 vagrants and visitors that have been recorded within Victoria and its territorial waters are included, with photographs depicting a range of these species. Further, information on 33 extinct species, 22 escapee and invading species, and 23 potentially occurring species are included for full coverage of the wildlife of Victoria.
