en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 sep 2025
Australian Mammals: Biology and Captive Management is a complete guide to the husbandry of all groups of Australian mammals. This second edition has been updated based on the latest research, bringing together current knowledge of the biology and behaviour of each species in captive situations and providing guidance for hand rearing. It covers advances from the last 20 years, including developments in assisted breeding, genetic techniques, updated taxonomy and the importance of Australian mammal welfare, both physical and mental.
Written in collaboration with experts in captive management, ecology and veterinary science, chapters are presented for each taxonomic group of Australian mammals. Each chapter covers animal welfare, natural history, housing requirements, general husbandry, feeding requirements, handling and transport, health requirements, behaviour, breeding and artificial rearing.
Australian Mammals provides practical guidance for zookeepers, veterinarians, zoologists, researchers and students.

Recenzii

"The best book on its subject ever to appear … an essential purchase for any zoo holding animals from the region it is devoted to … every zoo should buy this book.”

Nicholas Gould (International Zoo News 51/2, March 2004)

“This is a landmark publication and the reference for all those interested in maintaining animals in captivity. It matters not whether you are a professional, research institution, wildlife carer, National Parks personnel or an enthusiastic amateur – this book is for you … I believe it will become a ‘must have’ volume on the library shelves of people seriously interested in the future of Australian mammals.”

Ed McAlister AO, President, World Association of Zoos and Aquariums
"It is hard to find good sources of husbandry and management on these animals outside of Australia, so having all of the information in a single book source is invaluable for me both as an author and as a practicing veterinarian."
Colin McDermott, VMD, CertAqV, Dipl. ABVP (Reptile and Amphibian), Clinical Assistant Professor, City University of Hong Kong, China
