About this title

Synopsis

Your knowledge of the behavior and evolution of wolves, foxes, coyotes, and Canis familiaris the domestic dog was extremely limited until the publication of this book - The Wild Canids. Edited by Dr. Michael W. Fox, one of the premier researchers in the field, the 30 scholarly studies presented in this acclaimed volume represented a major step forward in understanding these fascinating animals. It also laid out a number of areas of inquiry that stimulated further study. The Wild Canids is a valuable resource for conservationists in protecting and re-introducing canids into the wild and in familiarizing dog trainers and behaviorists with the science of canine behavior.
