Mammals of North America: Temperate and Arctic Regions: This landmark reference by award-winning science writer Adrian Forsyth is completely up-to-date with the latest scientific names behavioral data on the wild mammals of the North, this book is much more than a field guide, "Mammals of North America" goes beyond simple identification and description, and dives into the reasons wild mammals live and act the way they do: Why are some predators highly social, while others live alone? Why must shrews no bigger than a thimble eat more than their body weight each day or face certain starvation? How can a bat pick a small insect off the surface of a leaf in total darkness? How did a squat prehistoric pig-like animal evolve into one of the world's fastest creatures, the pronghorn antelope?
