Mammals are unique in their extraordinary range of size, shape and habits, the smallest shrew is less than one millionth the mass of a bull elephant. The distribution of large mammals has been greatly altered by human activity. In most cases the ranges have been reduced, but the translocation of game to re-stock nature reserves has expanded the distribution of some species. The distribution of lesser species has also been disturbed by the destruction of habitat.
