Predators of North America

A season-by-season look at North America’s most thrilling predator species.

This exciting book by renowned wildlife photographer Dave Taylor features over 300 images of North American predator species in their natural habitat, with informative captions that offer notes on each animal, its behavior, the role it plays within its local ecosystem, and where and when it can best be viewed. Though Predators of North America focuses on the continent’s hunters and their prey, it is a book about life, not death. It depicts the intricate web of living creatures — mammals, reptiles, fish and birds — who depend upon each other for their survival. Special attention is paid to key species such as the grizzly bear, black bear, wolf, coyote and red fox. Like the author’s previous book, Deer World, this book also follows the lives of animals through a calendar year, enabling photographers, naturalists, conservationists and hunters to use it as a guide to viewing species-specific seasonal events. Join Dave Taylor on his hunt for North America’s natural hunters.
