Book Description
This book is a comprehensive survey of the evolution, relationships, biology, and conservation of the group of species allied to cattle, antelopes, goats, deer, chevrotains, musk deer, giraffes, and the pronghorn. This group appears in the fossil record more than 35 million years ago and is today known from every continent except Australia and Antarctica. Many of the species in this group are a prominent and often spectacular presence in most of the surviving natural ecosystems on earth, but are yet very poorly understood. Many of the most basic aspects of their interrelationships and biology remain in doubt. The presentation includes information about species discovered only recently, such as the saola, found in the high-altitude evergreen forests of the Annamite Mountains between Laos and Vietnam.
