The book presents intimate studies and natural history of the various mammals found across North America, detailing both large and small species. With a focus on their habitats, lifestyles, and conservation, it combines meticulous research with vivid illustrations to capture the diversity of wildlife in the region. The opening of the book comprises an introduction and a broad summary of the rich variety of mammalian life that once thrived across North America.
