Owls Aren’t Wise & Bats Aren’t Blind: A Naturalist Debunks Our Favorite Fallacies About Wildlife
$15.00 CAD
pp. 322, /w sketch illustrations, “Ever pick up a toad only to have it soak your hand? Don’t worry, it was the animal’s emergency water storage (not urine!), dumped in a fight-or-flight panic. Think that new beaver clan will dent the trout population in your favorite fishing hole? They don’t touch the stuff: beavers are strictly vegan. And go ahead, get close to that porcupine, because they can’t fire quills like an AK-47. Want more? Warner Shedd, a native Vermonter, lifelong naturalist, former Forest Service honcho, and a retired executive for the National Wildlife Federation, dispels wildlife fallacies that have passed through generations of well-intended grandfathers and poorly informed folk tales. Shedd covers everything about most backyard critters–from gray squirrels to newts–and expands on some wilder species that we only think we understand. “
