Many of the living species are endangered, say the authors, and knowledge of their history, evolution, and basic biology is critical to their conservation.. Also covered are the genetics, morphology, and behaviour of the saola (one of several new species recently found in the Annamite Mountains between Laos and Vietnam) and other survivors from isolated and ancient branches on the ruminant family tree. This book is a discussion of the evolution, biology, relationships, and conservation of this fascinating and ecologically important group of mammals. Present on every continent except Australia and Antarctica, they have also been more important to human subsistence than any other ma
