A comprehensive field guide for naturalists and wildlife enthusiasts, Mammal Tracks and Signs: A Field Guide for South-Eastern Australia presents an authoritative reference for identifying the traces left behind by native and introduced mammals across south-eastern Australia. Barbara Triggs details an impressive range of tracks, scats, diggings, burrows, and other signs, equipping readers with the knowledge to interpret the hidden lives of animals they may never directly observe. Written with the clarity and precision of a seasoned field biologist, the guide instructs both beginners and experienced trackers on how to distinguish subtle differences between species, supported by illustrations and descriptions grounded in years of fieldwork. Each entry chronicles the characteristic signs of individual species, from iconic marsupials to smaller, often-overlooked mammals, making it an indispensable companion for bushwalkers, ecologists, and conservation workers alike. Practical, thorough, and deeply informed by the Australian landscape, this remains one of the most trusted resources for anyone seeking to understand the mammal life of the region through the evidence left in its soil, sand, and scrub.
