The Guide to Victorian Wildlife by Angus McNab.

The Guide to Victorian Wildlife is the only comprehensive field guide that aids the reader in identifying all 662 species of amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds that live in Victoria and its territorial waters. This includes five species that do not occur anywhere else. The detailed and user-friendly species accounts contain physical descriptions, distribution maps, details on where and when to see each species, preferred habitat types, elevational ranges, similar species and how to tell them apart, plus notes on subspecies, conservation status, and ecology. Details on the 199 vagrants and visitors that have been recorded within Victoria and its territorial waters are included, with photographs depicting a range of these species. Further, information on 33 extinct species, 22 escapee and invading species, and 23 potentially occurring species are included for full coverage of the wildlife of Victoria. The book contains over 1,700 images. This image count is made up of colour photographs of males, females, juveniles, a range of color morphs, and variations in subspecies.

Angus (Gus) McNab MSc (Zoology) is an experienced ecologist with over 16 years of experience working with a diverse range of wildlife. His work as a wildlife biologist is primarily focused in northern Australia, with some international projects taking him abroad to Borneo, North, Central and South America.

From his initial fascination with reptiles, Gus’ interest soon broadened to all wildlife assemblages. He developed considerable practical field knowledge, a detailed understanding of monitoring program design and implementation, and a thorough knowledge of vertebrate ecology through his involvement with numerous wildlife surveys and monitoring projects.

Angus has extensive experience in wildlife based projects, animal trapping, handling and data collection on all Australian vertebrate fauna groups. He has gained this experience in the Central Kimberley Region, North Eastern Arnhem Land, Central Western Australia, Northern New South Wales, Tasmania and throughout Queensland. Gus’ role as a wildlife biologist has been varied, requiring him to become skilled in both field preparation and logistics.

You can often find him out in the field, leading wildlife surveys while mentoring staff and volunteers on the project. Angus’ professional development has involved working with a variety of organisations, universities, private consultancies, researchers, mining and gas companies, traditional owner groups, government departments, non-profit organisations, non-government organisations, conservation groups, museums, and local interest groups. This vast range of networking opportunities has provided him with a wealth of information, as well as the opportunity to remain up-to-date on ecological developments throughout Australia.
