About The Book

Travellers to Ecuador want to experience tropical forests and other stunning habitats, and catch glimpses of exotic wildlife: toucans and parrots, monkeys and anteaters, frogs and toads, crocodiles and snakes. On the Galapagos Islands, curious visitors want to see with their own eyes the exotic, unique, tame wildlife that stimulated Charles Darwin to formulate the theory of evolution. In this easy-to-carry, entertainingly written, and beautifully illustrated book is all the information you need to find, identify, and learn about Ecuador's magnificent animal life.

About The Author

Les Beletsky is a professional wildlife biologist and university zoology teacher.

An avid ecotraveller, he visits the Americas, Africa, and Australia often. His basic view of life is that he’d rather be travelling and visiting new places and exotic locales than be doing anything else. Currently he makes his home in Seattle, Washington, USA.
