A comparative atlas of East African bovids

Volume 3, Part D completes Jonathan Kingdon’s seven-volume survey of East African mammals through a detailed examination of bovids, including gazelles, impalas, wildebeests, oryxes, sheep, and goats. It places these animals within ecological and evolutionary comparison while revisiting their taxonomy. The book also examines how physical features—body size and shape, horns, coats, and teeth—relate to form and function. Lifelike drawings are presented as an integral part of the reference, supporting its visual as well as scientific approach.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Naturalists seeking a detailed reference on East African hoofed mammals
  • Students of mammal taxonomy, evolution, and ecology
  • Readers interested in zoological illustration and animal morphology

Book overview

Kingdon's remarkable seven-volume masterwork on East African mammals concludes with two volumes on the bovids, placing them in a broad comparative, ecological, and evolutionary context. Volume IIIC covers cattle, water buffalo, kudus, elands, dwarf antelopes, duikers, reedbucks, and waterbucks; IIID covers gazelles, impalas, wildebeests, oryxes, sheep, and goats. In addition to the stunning, lifelike drawings that are an integral part of the text, the volumes include a reappraisal of bovid taxonomy and original analyses of the form and function of body shape and size, horn shape, coat pattern, and tooth structure.
