Wolves: A Portrait of the Animal World

Beskrivning:

With 100 full-color illustrations

WOLVES, from TODTRI, provides a
colorful and long overdue tribute to the
largest member of the canine family.

Unfairly discriminated against for cen-
turies, the wolf is now enjoying a new-
found popularity. In this book, the
renowned nature writer and photograph-
er Leonard Lee Rue III creates a revealing
portiait of this complex, social animal.

The wolf is an intelligent and elusive ani-
mal whose habits and annual cycles are
only just beginning to be understood.
Originating in the western hemisphere
five million years ago, the wolf, by the
middle of the Pleistocene epoch, about
one and a half million years ago, had
developed and diversified into the
remarkable species we know today.

Included in this volume are:

• fascinating statistics about the wolf's
anatomical structure

• surprising facts about its sensory
capacities

• a journey following the wolf through
the changing seasons

• explanations of hunting tactics,
mating rituals, territory and pack
order, denning, and birth.

WOLVES just one title from the
successful and highly collectible
Portraits Of The Animal World series
from TODTRI—presents a beautifully
illustrated account of animal behavior.
It will be treasured by admirers of
these fascinating creatures, conservation-
ists, and anyone seeking a better under-
standing of the animal kingdom.
