As cities and suburbs sprawl, and conservation efforts enable wildlife populations to recover, we are beginning to see a problem with large wild animals appearing on the streets and in our own backyards. While it may be thrilling to see a cougar right outside your apartment building, the reality is that these large predators can bite, scratch, maim, and even kill. In this book, you can learn about the cutting-edge research as to why these predators are coming back into human territory, how it impacts all of us, and how we can learn to deal with it - for both our safety and for the protection and conservation of these animals.(This title may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
