Encounters with wildlife in urban areas are becoming more frequent, as animals like cougars, alligators, and bears venture into cities and suburbs. This trend is driven by urban sprawl and successful conservation efforts that have allowed wildlife populations to thrive. While these encounters can be exciting, they also pose significant dangers, with the potential for serious attacks on humans increasing as wildlife and people share the same spaces.

Text and lavish color photographs present details of the lives of the wild mammals. The book is organized partly by mammal family groups and partly by the life-styles of the animals.

Over 230 full-color photographs and an absorbing text describe by habitat the flora and fauna of this rich continent. Taking in the full diversity of regions where animals and plants thrive, this book will fascinate and delight all those interested in the natural wonders of the living world.
