Diagnosing mammals by using species as the lower taxonomic category. 219 species of mammals are recorded in this book.
For large-sized and medium-sized mammals, imitatively colour pictures are provided with literal descriptions.

For small mammals, since some of their species seem quite similar in appearance, colour pictures are only drawn to the typical species, while to the others sketches of teeth, noses-leaf, tragus, and colour skull photos are provided, as well as the literal descriptions for both. In addition, a brief introduction of the geographical distribution and the ecological situations of each species are presented.
