The fastest animal on earth dive-bombs him from the skies. A young
black bear bounds up a mountain trail a few yards away. Poisonous
snakes swirl at his feet. A thousand bats careen past his head in a
pitch-black roost. Pods of dolphins swim right past him by the
scores. Who? Experienced naturalist David Wheeler. Where? In Wild
New Jersey, of course.
Wild New Jersey invites readers along Wheeler's whirlwind year-long
tour of the most ecologically diverse state for its size in
America. Along with the expert guidance of charismatic wildlife
biologists and local conservationists, he explores mountains,
valleys, beaches, pine barrens, caves, rivers, marshlands, and
more--breathtaking landscapes and the state's Noah's Ark of
fascinating creatures.
This isn't your ordinary ride on the Jersey Turnpike. Fasten your
seatbelts and join Wheeler as he . . .
Kayaks through the Meadowlands under the watchful eye of the Empire
State Building, Pans for cretaceous fossils in a hidden brook once
home to mastodons and giant sloths, Rides a fishing boat in the
frigid snows of winter on a high-seas quest for Atlantic puffins,
Trudges through the eerie darkness of a bog on a mysterious night
hike, Dogsleds across the windswept alpine slopes in the haunts of
the porcupine and bobcat.
With Wheeler's compelling narrative, in-depth background
details, and eye for revealing the offbeat, you can count this as
the first nature book to paint the extraordinary picture of New
Jersey's unlikely wilderness in all its glory. Come along for all
the adventure and insight in Wild New Jersey
