Inhaltsangabe

Desert Dogs adds dimension to sketchy and often misunderstood portrayals of four species of wild dogs that inhabit the deserts of the southwest: the kit fox, the coyote, the gray fox, and the endangered Mexican wolf. Authors and naturalists Jonathan and Roseann Hanson counter myths about wild dogs-particularly their unmerited reputations as natural stock killers-by replacing fictional images with a closer and sometimes more lighthearted look at the sophisticated skills and social systems of the animals: from the structure and purpose of pack formation and howling patterns to the inspiring ability of coyotes, foxes, and wolves to co-exist without depleting each other's resources. Illustrated with 24 full-color photographs, Desert Dogs is an excellent resource for readers unfamiliar with desert life and anyone who seeks a better understanding of the canines that inhabit our neighboring desert, urban alleyways, and suburban backyards.
