The Neotropical (South American) Ecozone
The Neotropics. Home to Woolly Opposums and Silky Anteaters, cold margeritas, hot chilli and hotter chicas.
The Neoptrical (South American) Ecozone covers South and Central America, and the southern Mexican lowlands and the Caribbean.
Information – sometimes detailed, sometimes less so – on mammal watching in many areas is included on this site. Country (or State and Territory) pages include lists of resources specific to them. Some more general resources are listed below.

Resources
South America
Eisenberg, J. and Redford, K. 2000. Mammals of the Neotropics. University of Chicago Press. This three volume set (with each volume covering a different group of countries) appears to be the definitive work on mammals in the region.
Emmons, L. 1997. Neotropical Rainforest Mammals A Field Guide. University of Chicago Press. This is the only near comprehensive field guide I’ve seen for the neotropics. It includes most of the mammals found at altitudes below 1000m. Some of the bats and murid rodents are treated only to the genus level.
Central America
Reid, F. 1997. A Field Guide To The Mammals Of Central American And Southeast Mexico. Oxford University Press. This is excellent, and especially useful for identifying bats and rodents (many of which of course extend further south). It has a lot of information on where to find many of the species in Central America that I have yet to put to the test.
