Description

Your Quick Guide to Identifying Mammal Tracks

When you're out and about, keep this tabbed booklet by Jonathan Poppele close at hand. Designed for ease of use and featuring only mammals of the Southwest, the booklet is organized by group for quick and easy identification. Narrow your choices by group, and view just a few animal tracks at a time. The detailed illustrations cover more than 150 species and are carefully drawn to resemble the track prints as you might see them in the field. Plus, size information, sample gait patterns, and a step-by-step guide to track identification help to ensure positive ID. The pocket-sized format is much easier to use than laminated foldouts, and the tear-resistant pages help to make the book durable. So bring this lightweight quick guide along on your next hike, camping trip, or walk in the park, and improve your tracking skills with every animal track sighting.
