What North American mammal eats cactus, lizards and acorns – and has sharp tusks?  What mammal eats its own weight in insects and earthworms every day? These creatures and more are in the pages of this fabulous guide to 110 of the most common mammals from the Arctic to the Mexican border, from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic. Tracks, sign, habits and habitat are all in here and will serve your family for years on trips to the backyard and beyond.

This guide is used at Wilderness Awareness School Summer Day Camps and is the recommended youth field guide by our school on this subject.

Of course, this is a valuable guide for folks of all ages, but the simpler guides are most useful and inspiring for young people.
