Description
For centuries, before English settlers permanently colonized what is now Cape Cod, bears and wolves were the highest predators in this peninsula of Massachusetts. The Cape in truth changed into an island when the Bourne and Sagamore Bridges were completed. This book main points the history of flora and fauna on Cape Cod, at close to shore, such as whaling and whale migration, and inland, like bears and wolves. It also accommodates essays on human interactions between animals and humans in this landscape for over 400 years, and the way peoples’ attitudes and behaviors toward animals have evolved.
