About This Book
A regional field guide to the mammals found in the higher elevations of the American Southwest, focusing on mountains and mesas above the low desert. It is organized by major groups—hoofed animals, rodents and lagomorphs, carnivores (including insectivores and bats)—and provides concise species accounts with descriptions, measurements, habitat and elevation preferences, range notes, and behavioral and conservation observations. Life-zone maps, an introductory discussion of regional geography and natural history, line illustrations, references, and an index support identification and encourage awareness of habitat preservation.
