Contents in Three Parts: Birds, Reptiles and Mammals. Far to the north, in the subzero temperatures of Alaska, a female walrus demolishes a huge chunk of ice with her tusks and frees her newborn calf from a crevasse into which it has fallen. A deer chases a coyote and a pet prairie dog attempts to make the household drapes predator-free by cutting them off 11 inches from the bottom. The female polar bear excavates her own 8 x 10 x 4 1/2 foot maternity den. Soon she will deliver 1 1/2 pound twin cubs which may well weigh 1,000 pounds by the time they are fully grown!!! This is the animal kingdom -- a world marvelous, mysterious, and richly varied. A book as informative as it is fascinating, Victor H. Cahalane and Charles Johnson (Graphics Editor) have combined pieces by outstanding American and Canadian specialists in the field of zoology. Ranging from the graceful golden eagle to the sturdy, sleek elk, each chapter bursts with exciting life history facts and dramatically unfolds the wonders of animal activity on our prairies, in our forests, and beneath the surface of the sea. An invaluable aid to sportsmen and conservationists alike, Alive In The wild suggests means which may and must be employed to insure the continuing existence of wildlife throughout North America. Vivid life-like illustrations by the talented artist and writer, Robert Candy, add a unique touch to a book that is certain to intrigue and inform readers of every age and interest.
