If one had the urge to study mammals while traveling around the US and Canada it would be possible to discover more than 1500 wild varieties of the furred creatures without going outside the boundaries of our country. It is with this wild population that is of particular interest in this book. Domestic animals and some of the foreign species commonly seen in zoos have been included in the Key to the Orders so that you might better understand the family relationships of mammals. But by far the most numerous are the small mammals of woods and field. You will be able to identify any you may see with the illustrations of animals keyed to characteristics, areas found, etc. in this book. 205 Pgs.
