This informative work explores the wildlife found in the Rocky Mountain region, particularly within Rocky Mountain National Park. The book encompasses a comprehensive overview of various mammals, focusing on their identification, habits, and environmental adaptations. In this publication, Gilligan provides detailed descriptions of numerous mammal species, including hoofed animals like elk and mule deer, as well as carnivores such as black bears and cougars.
