This informative work explores the wildlife found in the Rocky Mountain region, particularly within Rocky Mountain National Park. The book encompasses a comprehensive overview of various mammals, focusing on their identification, habits, and environmental adaptations. In this publication, Gilligan provides detailed descriptions of numerous mammal species, including hoofed animals like elk and mule deer, as well as carnivores such as black bears and cougars. He outlines their physical characteristics, habitat preferences, and population dynamics, especially in relation to human interaction and wildlife management. The book addresses historical changes in wildlife populations, conservation efforts, and the challenges faced in maintaining healthy ecosystems in the face of growing human encroachment. With illustrations and a checklist of species, this work serves as both a guide for enthusiasts and a resource for understanding the intricate balance of wildlife in the Rockies.
