Written in lively prose, the Guide to the Mammals of Pennsylvania introduces readers to Pennsylvania’s environment and the characteristics of these disparate local animals. Each entry includes a short list of data, a Pennsylvania range map, a North American range map, and a narrative of the physical, ecological, and behavioral characteristics of the species. Photographs of each species in its natural habitat and drawings of animal tracks are especially useful for identification, and a glossary and bibliography provide definitions and references for the serious reader.

This review of Pennsylvania's conservation efforts is the first book to focus exclusively on the state's vertebrates of concern. The 133 species of reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals discussed in this book are Pennsylvania's most vulnerable terrestrial vertebrates. Each species is described in a full account that details basic biology and includes photographs and range maps. The accompanying narratives focus on conservation priorities, research needs, and management recommendations. Featuring information compiled from a broad array of sources and by contributors who are recognized authorities on their respective species, this volume is a model for wildlife conservation across much of the northeastern United States. A road map that reveals the Keystone State's most sensitive species and what can be done to manage and conserve these important natural resources, Terrestrial Vertebrates of Pennsylvania is a valuable tool for wildlife managers, conservationists, and naturalists.
