Síntesis:
"Think of deer and the image that pops into most American's minds is that of a white-tailed deer, the most common large mammal in North America. Most Europeans are more familiar with red deer. It may surprise many people to know that there are actually about 50 species of deer found throughout the world. Find nontechnical, expert information about the wide range of diverse deer species. From the diminutive pudu of South America that weighs 17 pounds to male moose that weigh close to 2,000 pounds, the authors explore the biology, evolution, ecology, feeding habits, reproduction, and behavior of deer. They chronicle the relationships between humans and deer--both positive and negative--and discuss the challenges of deer conservation and management." -- from publisher's website.
