## Overview

This 740-page paperback is the definitive guide to the skulls of 275 North American animal species, featuring life-size illustrations, detailed measurements, and expert descriptions.

## Description

Comprehensive guide to the animals of North America Fully illustrated with drawings and photographs User-friendly format makes comparing species easy This uniquely thorough reference and guidebook offers illustrations, descriptions, and measurements for the skulls of some 275 animal species found throughout North America. The skull--the collection of bones that house and protect a creature's brain and sensory organs--is the key anatomical feature used to identify an animal and understand many of its behaviors. This book describes in words and pictures the bones and regions of the skull important to identification, including illustrations of all the bones in the cranium, leading to a greater understanding of a creature's place in the natural world. Life-size drawings and detailed measurements make this guide an invaluable reference for wildlife professionals, trackers, and animal-lovers alike.

Review: A great reference book for anyone interested in identifying and/or collecting animal skulls. - I love that most of the skulls have full size illustrations which makes identification of unknown skulls so much easier. I can just place the skull right over the picture, as well as use it for a side by side comparison. Obviously large skulls are not going to fit on the pages of this book, and those images are reduced, but still very helpful. You could blow them up on a photocopier to get them closer to "life size" if you needed to. The illustrations are pretty good quality and nicely detailed. I also like the section that includes a variety of ways to clean and whiten skulls. My only minor complaint is that I wish there was instructional information included on gluing the teeth back in after cleaning the skulls, such as which glues are the best kinds to use and why. If you can only afford one book on this subject, this one is excellent to start with.
Review: worth every penny - This is by far the most interesting, complete and reliable reference book on this subject. The amount of detail included here is commendable. This is not a simple illustrated guide, this is a comparative treatise on skulls masquerading as a pretty book. It has both color and black and white pictures and is worth every penny if you plan on doing any identifications. This can be used for wildlife biology, veterinary medicine, zooarchaeology, for taxidermy, for amateur naturalist, a back yard explorer or for any number of disciplines and many related fields. If you don't have access to a large skull collection that includes a mentor, this is a next best thing. Incidentally, it turned out that I had the author's other great book, the one about animal tracks, also an exhaustive and complete guide. This book is thick and heavy. Because it covers pretty much most land vertebrates of North America, it is best suited for those with a wide scope and a need to make specie specific identifications, not just genera.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful Photos, Diagrams, and Descriptions
*by A***K on June 28, 2023*

Unlike the last three books I ordered, this book is actually useful to a zooarchaeologist or hobbyist for identification. There are many color photos, detailed diagrams, and clear descriptions of mostly mammals, but some birds other classes. The diagnostic features for identifying lower taxa are discussed thoroughly. I recommend this book for practical applications.
