Walker's Carnivores Of The World
by: Nowak, Ronald
From the dwarf mongoose to the polar bear, carnivores are at once respected
and misunderstood, invoking both fear and curiosity in the humans with
whom they share their world. This comprehensive guide, featuring 225 illustrations,
covers the world's eight terrestrial families of carnivores. Each generic
account comprises scientific and common names, number and distribution
of species, physical attributes, measurements, hunting and social activity,
reproduction, habitat, population dynamics, longevity, and status of threatened
species. A thought-provoking overview by David W. Macdonald and Roland
W. Kays is packed with results of the latest field and laboratory research
on topics ranging from evolutionary history to the adaptive value of fur
patterns. Emphasizing the interplay of social life, morphology, and predatory
behavior, it provides an up-to-date panorama of the world's carnivores.
