North American Survivors explores seven species of mammals that existed in the North American continent, lived through the last Ice Age, and endured to the present. It reveals the ancestral origins of the animals, the opinions that humans held towards them, and the way they affected the biodiversity in the environment in which they live. North American Survivors considers the way these animals survived so that humans may learn and integrate the animals' resilience in their own lives to continue through the ongoing climate change crisis. The book also gives an overview of what the year of the particular animal looks like: when mating and birthing season begins, and when a particular animal grows independent. The animals discussed include: White-tailed deer Pronghorn Cougars Collared javelina or peccary Black bears and others. Complete with a glossary and a list for further reading, North American Survivors is the book to introduce readers to the adaptability of animals and what helps them survive today.
