Hoofed mammals are the most abundant large mammals in British
Columbia. Nine wild native species live here: Elk, Moose, Mule
Deer, White-tailed Deer, Caribou, Bison, Mountain Goat, Bighorn
Sheep and Thinhorn Sheep. One introduced species, European Fallow
Deer, also lives in small populations on some coastal islands.
David Shackleton provides a comprehensive examination of BC's
hoofed mammals, discussing their evolution and general biology,
including morphological and behavioural adaptations to their unique
lifestyle. He also describes each species and subspecies in detail
and discusses its social organization, habitat, diet, reproduction
and life expectancy. Each species account has a distribution map
and data on taxonomy, populations, conservation status and
traditional Aboriginal use. Fine illustrations and two
identification keys help readers recognize species by external
features or dried skulls. This authoritative book brings together
all the current knowledge on the hoofed mammals of BC. It will
appeal to biologists, naturalists, hunters and ranchers as well as
anyone interested in the natural history of our province.
