A Guidebook-sized, Photographic Field Guide to the Wildlife of India is a wide ranging overview of the subcontinent's wildlife, describing and illustrating over 984 species from all 26 states, including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Indian region is exceptionally rich in wildlife due to its wide variety of habitats and climates. Altitude ranges from sea level to the peaks of the Himalaya; rainfall from its lowest in the Rajasthan desert to Cherapunji in Meghalaya, one of the wettest places in the world.
This diversity supports a huge range of charismatic species from the iconic Bengal Tiger to Clouded Leopards, crocodiles to King Cobras, hornbills to eagles. The guide begins with an overview of India's climate and geography, its wildlife habitats, threats to wildlife, extreme rarities and how to enjoy the forests. The main part of the book contains concise species descriptions of 678 birds, 114 mammals, 72 butterflies and other insects, 66 reptiles, and 54 trees and flowers; each one accompanied by a photograph.
The book concludes with a section on wildlife watching in the national parks and wildlife sanctuaries which present the best chance of seeing many of these species described.

Uganda Animal Kingdom. African might. There are a number of reasons why people are choosing to take Tour and holidays in Uganda out of all the 54 countries on the African continent. After many years of bad publicity from wars and disease, things turned around for Uganda, especially in 2006, when Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army were run out of the country. Some of the things that have caused this surge in popularity and made Uganda make it to the list of the top 20 travel destinations include; Primates such as Gorillas: It came to the attention of both Uganda and the rest of the world that Uganda is primate country. From monkeys, to baboons to chimpanzees and to the rare and sought after golden monkeys and mountain gorillas.
There is no better country to visit if you are looking to see primates of different kinds. In the past five years gorilla trekking in Uganda has become one of the most sought after Africa safari adventures. The pearl of Africa is home to more than half of the world's population of mountain gorillas, and some of these have been habituated so visitors can get to see them in their natural habitat. Chimpanzees too are an attraction in Uganda, they are found in various places in the western part of Uganda. The golden monkeys, also quite a rare species are found in Mgahinga national park on the foothills of the Virunga Mountains. It is because of the abundance of primates that Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Mgahinga national park, and other parks in the western part of the country have a lot of tourist traffic.
