The wild mammals of Missouri

Maintaining the original book's successful format and the language that made it accessible to both professional and lay readers, the third revised edition includes newly updated species distribution maps. Also incorporated are discussions of biological and ecological aspects of the mammals including conservation and management concerns. Charles Schwartz's meticulously rendered drawings capture the spirit of his subjects while remaining technically accurate. These drawings range from fully rendered portraits to illustrations of skulls, tracks, and other identifying characteristics, to vignettes showing the mammals engaged in typical behaviors.
