This guide offers identification and an overview of 128 species of mammals native to Colorado. Intended for casual hikers, outdoor recreationists, wildlife watchers and other non-professional readers, the book emphasizes unusual behaviors may be seen in the field. The Gray Fox, for instance, is famous for its tree-climbing - grasping the trunk of a tree with its front legs and scrabbling up with its hind feet in pursuit of prey. Nicknamed the "tree fox," it will sometimes be spotted resting on a tree limb.
