Moose: Behavior, Ecology, Conservation

Describes the personality traits, diets, breeding behavior, and social structure of moose, and covers such issues as conservation efforts and their interaction with humans.

Outstanding color photographs by noted wildlife photographer Francis eloquently tell the story of the moose in its natural setting. Accompanying the photographic essay is authoritative text by Geist, a zoologist who has served as a consultant to the National Geographic Society on similar books and television specials. Geist introduces the reader to the natural history of the moose, discussing the different species of moose, social structure, diet, personality, breeding, habitat, and interaction with humans. The book will appeal to wildlife enthusiasts and to those seeking factual information about the moose. It should be equally appreciated for its aesthetic value and for its informational content. Highly recommended for natural history collections.
