Book Description
William B. Davis and David J. Schmidly bring together over seventy years of experience in the study of Texas mammals. A completely revised and updated version of Davis' classic text, which was first published in 1947, The Mammals of Texas is a perennial favorite, going through four reprints and revisions during the past forty-seven years. A basic reference for the wildlife enthusiast, the book contains information on the distribution, physical characteristics, and life histories of 181 species of Texas mammals. Included are photographs, a comprehensive set of distribution maps, and identification keys to the orders and species of mammals found in Texas.

5 out of 5 stars The Classic of Southwest Mammalology   April 9, 2000
 11 out of 11 found this review helpful

This book is a classic reference -- it's been around for a long time, and will probably continue to be around for quite some time to come. I all but slept with it under my pillow during my college days, and now, decades later, I still frequently refer to it. Every subspecies of every wild mammal found in the Lone Star State, from mice to buffalo, is covered here in painstaking detail: feeding and breeding habits, distribution (including maps), population status, very good photographs, and relationship to human society (game animal, crop pest, etc.) is all here. Due to the size and geographic location of Texas, the animals covered in this book range over many habitats from desert to woodlands to subtropical seas -- making it a useful reference tool for zoological study in almost any area of the United States.
