  American Serengeti - The Last...

  America's Great Plains once possessed one of the grandest wildlife spectacles of the world, equaled only by such places as the Serengeti, the Masai Mara, or the veld of South Africa. Pronghorn antelope, gray wolves, bison, coyotes, wild horses, and grizzly bears: less than two hundred years ago these creatures existed in such abundance that John James Audubon was moved to write, "it is impossible to describe or even conceive the vast multitudes of these animals." In a work that is at once a lyrical evocation of that lost splendor and a detailed natural history of these charismatic species of the historic Great Plains, veteran naturalist and outdoorsman Dan Flores draws a vivid portrait of each of these animals in their glory—and tells the harrowing story of what happened to them at the hands of market hunters and ranchers, and ultimately, a federal killing program in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

  In this book, we will explore some of the most popular and fascinating animals that people choose to keep as pets. People have spent years studying and researching the behaviour, biology, and ecology of various domestic and exotic animals, including cats, dogs, horses, spiders, snakes, and stick insects. 
  Cats and dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and are some of the most beloved pets worldwide. They are known for their loyalty, companionship, and playful nature. Horses, on the other hand, have a long history of working alongside humans in various activities, including transportation, agriculture, and sports. 
  When it comes to exotic pets, spiders, snakes, and stick insects are some of the most intriguing animals to keep. These creatures may not be everyone`s cup of tea, but they have unique adaptations and behaviour patterns that make them fascinating to observe. Spiders, for example, have an intricate web-spinning ability that allows them to capture their prey with ease. Snakes, on the other hand, have a unique way of moving and hunting, which sets them apart from other animals. 
  Lastly, stick insects, also known as phasmids, are masters of disguise, blending seamlessly into their surroundings to avoid predators. 
  In this book, we will delve into the world of these animals, exploring their characteristics, care requirements, and any potential risks associated with keeping them as pets. Whether you are a seasoned pet owner or considering getting your first pet, this book is an excellent resource to learn more about these fascinating creatures.
