Wild Animals of Western Canada: An Altitude Superguide
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
An elk without asters is not an elk. And western Canada without wildlife is not truly western Canada, says author Kevin Van Tighem. This book is an excellent guide to all the major wild animals that live in western Canada. There are over 40 descriptions and stories that range from grizzly bears to ground squirrels, and from chipmunks to whales.
