Author Description

Given the changes in our climate and human population growth, animals are increasingly forced to adapt to our behavior in unexpected ways. Whether it's crocodiles using pool noodles as flotation devices in Florida, coyotes becoming more nocturnal to avoid people, or a huddle of walruses sinking a research vessel whose scientists used a drone to explore their territory, animals are figuring out how to navigate the world we have created.This artist's book, the Field Guide to Animal Adaptations, identifies and illustrates 20 examples of this phenomenon, providing both hope and despair for the coexistence of humans and animals.
