Wilderness Predators of the Rockies takes readers on an in-depth journey into the secluded backcountry where legendary predators such as the mighty grizzly, taciturn wolverine, stately wolf, awesome jaguar, and other wild animals call home. Casting aside the canned, often misleading, biology often cited, this book offers a deeper understanding of wilderness and its predators and prey as well as an explanation about how humans fit into this fascinating cycle. Full of newly discovered facts and many first-hand accounts, the text is accompanied by award-winning action photos that bring these secretive predators and their roles in the cycle of nature to life.
This 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.
