This volume explores three major areas of research on predatory mammals: physiological adaptations, predatory tactics, and management dilemmas resulting from predation that upsets ecological balance or human activities. Contributors discuss the cases of many different types of animals, from otters and badgers to lions and leopards. The big cats, for example, are included in the context of studies of cattle mortality in Kenya and Venezuela and other countries. Other chapters discuss problems caused by fish-eating mammals near coastal Scotland, disease carrying birds, urban foxes, and many equally insightful cases. The book will interest all ecologists, zoologists, and conservationists concerned with issues relating to the predatory habits of wildlife around the world.
