Marine Mammals of the North Atlantic

Author: Carl Christian Kinge
Stars: 4
Review by: Mandy Apgar


A small, but meaty account, divided by phylum (sort of) of the Atlantic's marine life. Not all animals are here oddly enough, but a good proportion are represented - whales, dolphins, polar bears, otters, oh my! Feeding habits, life cycle, range, the general details are given. Charts are included for whale watchers to tell apart species by their fins or blowhole should you only get a quick look. Overall, a nice neat book well put together but sadly lacking a strong message on conservation methods.
