| | | Title | | Flattened Fauna: A Field Guide to Common Animals of Roads, Streets, and Highways.
| | | Publication | | Revised ed. Berkeley, CA: Ten Speed Press, 2006. 92p. $9.95pa. ISBN 1580087558 pa; 9781580087551pa. | | | Description | | 14 groups or species of reptiles and amphibians, 15 of birds, 16 of mammals; quick key to major groups; silhouettes of animals that have "lost [their] third dimension"; "death list". Despite the humorous intent of this guide to "road fauna", it does cover most of the species a traveler is likely to see dead alongside the road (except deer and other large mammals, since they won't have lost their third dimension) and discusses genuine natural history, including why the animals hang out by roads. Not as gross as some of the "roadkill cafe" jokes, honest. | | | Region | | NORTH AMERICA | | | Classification | | Animals | |
