Back Cover Copy
The mighty grizzly, stately wolf, stealthy mountain lion, and seldom seen “ghost” predators—these are some of the legendary creatures that prowl the backcountry of Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and British Columbia. In Wilderness Predators of the Rockies, first-hand accounts and amazing photographs catch these secretive hunters in action.
Casting aside common biological misconceptions, author Mike Lapinski conveys the surprising fragility and resilience of life in the wild. This latest book by Lapinski, an expert on wilderness habitats and wildlife, includes species descriptions; information on habitats, mating, and population; and a unique perspective on where humans fit into the cycle of nature.
Reader ReviewsThis book reflects and describes the extensive experience and many adventures Mike Lapinski has had in the Rocky Mountains. There are exciting stories about predators from the great Grizzly and the fearsome mountain lion to the little ermine. There is a wealth of information about these animals. This is an extraordinary combination of an adventure and a reference book. In addition there is much wise counsel about safety and defense for campers and hikers in the country of these predators. Mike is a seasoned and thoughtful observer of the relationship,the balance, and interdependance between predator and prey.
