A Guide to the Deer of the World

[twilighter]

A Guide to the Deer of the World by Charles Smith-Jones has the ambition to be the most comprehensive Deer Guide to date.

Looks like the author put a lot of efforts to find photographs of every single species and tanks to few famous ZooChaters and Mammalwatchers, almost succeed.

Missing pictures only from Williamson's Chevrotain (skin), Anhui Musk Deer (drawing) and the questionable taxons Annamite and Puhuat muntjac.

The book is following easy to use format: account for every species with overview, Fact Box and subspecies list.

Taxonomy is up to date with 55 spieces of True Deers, 7 spieces of Musk Deers and 10 spieces of Chevrotains.

A Guide to the Deer of the World

I've been following the progress on facebook and I'm eagerly looking forward to this! It's a bit out of my price range, but looks like it'll be worth trying to make that work.

I was honored to have many of my photographs featured in this gorgeous book (including the mouse-deer on the cover!) I received my copy a couple weeks ago and it's absolutely stunning! I strongly recommend anyone who's interested to check it out!

After I read this discussion Seeking deer photographs for 'A Guide to the Deer of the World', I knew, I can't miss this book.

None of the ( otherwise well written) previous volumes dedicated to Cervidae has the picture collection presented in this book.











Some of the pictures are blurry and from camera traps, of course, but thanks to people like @Giant Eland there are some terrific photographs of rarely seen species.

If we are lucky the new Castello guide to Cervidae will come next year, as well
