Reseñas

Some of the information is outdated, unsurprisingly, but this is still a pretty comprehensive study on the mammals one can find in and around the Great Lakes. I personally could have done without the section on "collecting and preparing specimens" - I prefer to observe and photograph wildlife whilst they're still alive.

This is an excellent book!

Includes photos, species plates, physical descriptions, and descriptions of habits.

One of my favorite features is the colored distribution maps, which even include historical ranges for some species. In addition to this, the text also tells the species distribution outside North America.

This book has been very useful for research or just to identify the mammals in my area, and I have seriously sat around for hours reading it just for fun!
