Full Description
First published in 1959 and written by two of Missouri's most distinguished conservationists, this reference book is the defnitive guide to Missouri's wild mammals. Maintaining the original book's successful format and the language that made it accessible to both professional and lay readers, the third revised edition includes newly updated species distribution maps.

Charles Schwartz's meticulously rendered drawings capture the spirit of his subjects while remaining technically accurate. These drawings range from fully rendered portraits to illustrations of skulls, tracks, and other identifying characteristics, to vignettes showing the mammals engaged in typical behaviors. New artwork has been completed by Mark Raithel for new resident species the elk and the Seminole bat.
