Desert Puma

Logan and Sweanor (scientists with the Wildlife Health Center, School of Veterinary Medicine, U. of California-Davis) present the results of ten years of study devoted to pumas in the desert of New Mexico. The five main sections of the volume cover background issues and describe the basis of the study; puma life history strategies and population dynamics; puma behavior and social organization; puma-prey relationships; and the relationship between pumas and people.
