The book of antelopes, vol. 2 (of 4)
Philip Lutley Sclater and Oldfield Thomas
The klipspringer bounds across bare rock on tiptoe hooves, and the little oribi freezes in the tall grass. This second antelope volume gathers the small and nimble species, from the Cape oribi to its scattered cousins, each finely described and figured. A continued feast of African plains and their delicate grazers. Follow the smaller antelopes through Sclater's great gallery.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
