From the Great Smoky Mountains to Point Reyes National Seashore,
America's national parks are home to some of nature's great
wildlife spectacles. Here, Gary W. Vequist and Daniel S. Licht, two
veterans of the National Park Service, focus on twelve animals that
have been imperiled and at risk, but are now protected within the
National Park System.Showcasing one species for each month of the
year, including gray wolf, black bear, prairie dog, sea turtle,
bison, bats, salmon, elk, beaver, American alligator, gray whale,
and bald eagle, Vequist and Licht pair each premier species with a
featured park, adding information about other parks where the
species may also be readily seen and identifying other animals to
look for in the same habitat--animals that prey, are preyed upon,
or exist side by side with the focal species.Beyond being a guide
to observing these remarkable animals, "Wildlife Watching in
America's National Parks," as the title implies, is also a book
about America's national parks. Reminding Americans why national
parks are truly our "best idea" and encouraging readers to go find
out why, these career wildlife specialists stress that it is
"impossible to fathom America without these animals and without the
parks in which they reside."Nature lovers, travelers, and outdoor
hobbyists of all types will be enthralled by this inside view of
America's wildlife and the breathtaking photographs of places they
inhabit.
