Australia is very fortunate to be home to an amazing variety of marine mammals. Whales and dolphins can be seen right around the nation, while in southern waters seals are common and in the north Dugongs frolic. Marine mammals are an important part of a healthy marine environment and spectacular to see in their natural habitat.
In this guide you will plunge deep into the world of Australia’s fifty known marine mammals species. The book looks at all aspects of these animals, their biology and behaviour, how they evolved from land animals, what they eat, how humans hunted them and what they are like to dive and snorkel with. There is also information about every species, common or rare and where they are best seen. Designed for anyone fascinated by whales, dolphins, seals and sea cows, this book is a great introduction to the marine mammals of Australia.
