Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best field guide to North American mammals The best-selling field guide that "sets new standards" (New Scientist) and "makes all other field guides for mammals of the United States. . . and Canada obsolete" (Journal of Mammalogy) is now even better. Covering 20 species recognized since 2002 and including 13 new color plates, this fully revised edition of Mammals of North America illustrates all 462 known mammal species in the United States and Canada—each in beautiful color and accurate detail. With a more up-to-date species list than any other guide, improved facing-page descriptions, easier-to-read distribution maps, updated common and scientific names, and track and scat illustrations, this slim, light, and easy-to-use volume is the must-have source for identifying North American mammals. Roland Kays and Don Wilson have scoured the technical literature to pull out the key differences between similar species, and illustrated these whenever possible, making the guide useful to amateur naturalists and professional zoologists alike. Casual animal watchers will appreciate the overview of mammal diversity and the tips on identifying animals they can spy in their binoculars, while scientists will appreciate the exacting detail needed to distinguish similar species, including illustrations of shrew teeth, bat toes, and whale dorsal fins. The best-illustrated and easiest-to-use field guide to North American mammals Beautiful and accurate color illustrations of all 462 mammals found in the United States and Canada—including 20 species recognized since 2002 112 color plates—including 13 new ones Key identification information—fully revised—on facing pages The most current taxonomy/species list Fully revised, easy-to-read range maps Illustrations of tracks, scat, and whale and dolphin dive sequences

Download or read book Peterson Field Guide to Finding Mammals in North America written by Vladimir Dinets and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2015 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to finding and observing 420 species of North American mammals, including the art of mammal watching, the best locations, and a species-finding guide. To see a fog shrew, should a mammal watcher go to Muir Woods National Monument? If a family is planning to visit Yellowstone National Park, what animals can they expect to show their children? When should a photographer visit to get a shot of a gray fox? A finder's guide (rather than an identification guide), this book tells people interested in observing mammals how to look, where to go, and what they are likely to find there. The bulk of the book is made up of two sections: the first includes regions of North America, highlighting the best places to look for mammals. The second section's accounts of each of the more than four hundred species of mammals covered include detailed directions to specific parks, refuges, and other locations; the best times of day (or night) to look; and much more information specific to each mammal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlock the secrets behind the behavior of the world's most fascinating creatures-from the Adélie penguin to the plains zebra to the giant panda-in this wonderfully written, beautifully illustrated book. In The Secret Language of Animals, biologist Janine Benyus takes us inside the animal kingdom and shows us the whys and the hows behind the distinctive behavior of creatures great and small in their natural environments. Divided geographically into five sections-Africa, Asia, North America, the oceans, and the poles-the book examines and describes the behavior, body language, and patterns of communication of 20 different animals: the gorilla, lion, African elephant, plains zebra, black rhinoceros, giraffe, ostrich, greater flamingo, Nile crocodile, giant panda, peacock, Komodo monitor, bottlenose dolphin, California sea lion, gray wolf, bald eagle, sandhill crane, beluga whale, polar bear, and Adélie penguin. For each animal, Benyus describes and explains basic behaviors (locomotion, feeding, drinking, bathing, grooming, sleeping), communication behavior (greeting, social play, group defense, conflict, aggression/submission, fighting, courtship, copulation), and parenting behavior (birth, care and feeding, teaching, communal care). The book is illustrated throughout with tender yet precise line drawings that beckon us to the animals and vividly capture everything from changing facial expressions to nurturing postures to playful and aggressive interactions. The text, too, is both intimate and informative, allowing for a deep connection with, and a great admiration for, each one of the animals.

Download or read book The Companion Guide to Trackards for North American Mammals written by David Brown and published by McDonald and Woodward Publishing Company. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Companion Guide to Trackards for North American Mammals is part of a field-tested track and scat identification system. The Companion Guide can be used to interpret information on the Trackards, as well as to view additional images of North American mammals that are distributed widely over the continent. It offers comparisons between taxa which aren't included in the Trackards due to lack of space. All images in both The Companion Guide and Trackards have been produced from photographs of actual tracks and scat of live, free-ranging wild animals. The Companion Guide also contains information about track morphology, the similarity of sign of one species to that of other species, and habitat preferences. No images have been copied from other sources, a practice that has perpetuated many inaccuracies in other tracking books and related resources. The Trackards/Companion Guide identification system has been field tested and revised for over a decade, resulting in the best resource on the market for the successful identification of mammal tracks.Tracks and sign for the following animals are included in the system: Black Bear, Beaver, Moose, Snowshoe Hare, River Otter, Fisher, White-tailed Deer, Eastern Coyote, Porcupine, Raccoon, Bobcat, Opossum, Woodchuck, Red Fox, Muskrat, Gray Fox, Mink, Cottontail Rabbit, Striped Skunk, Gray Squirrel, Weasel, Red Squirrel, Chipmunk, Mouse, Vole, and Shrew. The book-card system should appeal to any person interested in natural history, and will be especially attractive to backpackers and winter sports enthusiasts who wonder what animal made the trails they encounter in the snow. Schools at any level may adapt the system for instruction in environmental science classes. Higher educational students may purchase the whole system while teachers of lower grades may purchase sets of the Trackards for their classes while using The Companion Guide as a teacher's reference. The Companion Guide to Trackards for North American Mammals are 5.5 x 8.5 inches and can easily be packed in a large pocket for ease in transportation and usability.
