OverviewThis field guide is dedicated to the carnivores of Central America. It describes four indigenous families - wild cats, racoons, skunks and wild canids - and their individual species that live in the region. The authors introduce each species by recounting a first-person encounter with it, followed by an explanation of its taxonomy, scientific name, English and Spanish common names, habitat, natural history and conservation status. Range maps show the animal's past and current distribution. The concluding chapter focuses on the carnivores' future, i ncluding threats posed by habitat destruction and other human activities, and describes some current conservation programmes.
