5.0 out of 5 stars
Great pocket guide for tourists visiting Alaska,
By A Customer
This review is from: Alaska's Mammals: A Guide to Selected Species (Alaska Pocket Guide) (Paperback)
Interesting and well-written book on 35 of the most popularland and marine mammals in Alaska. Quick and amusing stories on each animals. All the boring facts (color, size, etc.) are set off in a fact box for quick reference. Nice color pictures although they are a bit small. Cover has a lynx on it - not what you'd think of for Alaska- but a great cover shot...
