Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Fred Bruemmer has studied and photographed seals for more than 35 years, and he chronicles the joys of that long relationship in this lavishly illustrated volume. His stunning photographs have recorded seals all over the world - ranging from Australia to the Atlantic Ocean to southern Africa - as they nurse, feed, and protect their young. Bruemmer has even captured such rare species as the six-ton southern elephant seal and the elegant, 120-pound Baikal seal - found only in the Siberian lake from which it takes its name. The fascinating text that complements the photos is both a scientific survey of the four main pinniped families - the fur seals, the sea lions, the walrus, and the Phocids, or "true seals" - and a passionate cry of grief. Wondrous and heartbreaking, Seals in the Wild is an invaluable document of this battered but beautiful species.
