Book Description
To help visitors, as well as local residents, identify and enjoy the wildlife of Costa Rica, Carrol L. Henderson published Field Guide to the Wildlife of Costa Rica in 2002, and it instantly became the indispensable guide. Now Henderson has created a field guide dedicated to the monkeys, sloths, treefrogs, lizards, crocodiles, and other animals that travelers are most likely to see while exploring the wild lands of Costa Rica. He includes fascinating information on their natural history, ecology, identification, and behavior gleaned from his forty years of travels, studies, and wildlife viewing in Costa Rica, as well as details on where to see these remarkable and beautiful creatures. The mammals, amphibians, and reptiles are illustrated by stunning and colorful photographs—most of which were taken in the wild by Henderson. A detailed and invaluable appendix that identifies many of Costa Rica's best wildlife-watching destinations, lodges, and contact information for trip-planning purposes completes the volume.

Book Description
This book is the world's largest compendium of documented life spans in vertebrates. Record life spans for over 3000 species of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish indicate wild or captive status and sex (where available), and are linked to source references. A brief introduction addresses the concept of life span, summarizes methods for date gathering, criteria for inclusion, and provides a graphic summarization of within and among group variation in record life spans. The date is organized in four main tables: mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, and fish. The book is useful in demography, fisheries and wildlife biology, ecology, population and evolutionary biology, and gerontology.
