This handy interpretive field guide describes the 45 whales, dolphins, seals, and otters that are resident in, migrate through, or forage from Baja in Mexico to British Columbia in Canada. The guide's rich species accounts provide details on identification, natural history, distribution, and conservation. They also tell where and how these fascinating animals can best be viewed. Introductory chapters give general information on the ecology, evolution, and taxonomy of marine mammals; on the Pacific Coast's unique environment; and on the relationship between marine mammals and humans from native cultures to today. Featuring many color illustrations, photographs, drawings, and maps, this up-to-date guide illuminates a fascinating group of animals and reveals much about their mysterious lives in the ocean.California Natural History GuidesMarine mammals - Pacific Coast (North America)Marine mammals -- Pacific Coast (North America)Marine mammals -- Pacific Coast (North America) -- IdentificationMarine mammalsPacific Coast (North America)IdentificationMarine mammalsPacific Coast (North America)ZoologyHILCCHealth & Biological SciencesHILCCVertebratesHILCCamerica.baja.british columbia.california.canada.conservation.dolphins.ecology.evolution.field guide.gray whales.kelp beds.killer whales.marine biologists.marine biology.marine mammals.mexico.migration.natural history.natural sciences.nonfiction.oregon.pacific coast.pacific ocean.sea mammals.sea otters.seals.species distribution.species identification.taxonomy.vancouver island.washington.whale species.zoologists.zoology.Marine mammals - Pacific Coast (North America).Marine mammals -- Pacific Coast (North America).Marine mammals -- Pacific Coast (North America) -- Identification.Marine mammalsMarine mammalsZoologyHealth & Biological SciencesVertebrates599.5091643599.50979Allen Sarah G., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1487007Mortenson Joe, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autWebb Sophie, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910791888203321Field Guide to Marine Mammals of the Pacific Coast3706694UNINA
