This book is a compilation of animal names in indigenous languages of South America, in particular lowland tropical South America. As an "ethnolinguistic field guide," this book is a hybrid between an etymological dictionary and a biological field guide, similar to Ross et al. (2011) and Chamberlain (2018).
