Description: This book is intended to be a prototype and a model for the comprehensive management-oriented treatment – the biology, behavior, and husbandry of other endangered fauna on a species-by-species basis.
This is the first book of its kind dealing with the husbandry and biology of an important zoo species, Père David's Deer, the first large mammal to become extinct in the wild but rescued by captive breeding. It is also intended to be a prototype and a model for the comprehensive management-oriented treatment – the biology, behavior, and husbandry of other endangered fauna on a species-by-species basis.
