Zoo Geography of India and South East Asia

The present book is an attempt to highlight the faunal richness of Oriental Region. The book explains in a lucid manner as to how different groups of vertebrate animals have radiated in the eastern archipelago of Asia, Indochinese peninsula, and in the sub-continental India. Distributional range of hundreds of species of freshwater fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals have been arranged systematically. The book not only accounts for numerous faunal assemblages but also reminds for the need of conservation of so many splendid South East Asian species of animals, which are on the verge of extinction.
