Sri Lankan Wildlife

Where else in the world can you snorkel off golden-sand beaches by day and search for leopards at nightfall? Sri Lanka is small in area (just half the size of England) but rich in wildlife - home to the continent's largest land mammal, the Asian elephant, and many colourful species of reptile, bird and amphibian, including the endemic Serendib scops owl and the black-lipped lizard. Written by one of Sri Lanka's leading wildlife experts and photographers, this guide - beautifully illustrated with over 120 colour pictures - is the perfect introduction to the best of the island's flora and fauna, showing you what to look for when and where.
