Unnatural Fauna : a Guide to the People of the American Outdoors
Files
Description
Identify some of the more common species of homo sapien you're likely to encounter on excursions into the North American wilderness including Academius urbanus, Pescadoris immobilis, Homo organicus and the always present Horde orientalis. Learn to recognize the lumbering Beerbellius giganticus by locating his scat of beer can droppings. Along the rivers and lake shores you will find a preponderance of Popellus petrolealis shreddus, caravanus hazardous Locali, and Flotsam fluvialis. Detect the mannerism of studentus inebrius with insight into its eccentricities. In the campground, observe Ornithologus trivialis, commonly known as the bandy-legged geek. Recognize Winnebagus hospitalus and heterogeneous flocks of Swarm familias. No species of homo sapien escapes ridicule. That's the fun of it! Carol Poster makes us laugh at the generalized idiosyncratic behavior of us all in an attempt to curb some of our own unwitting indiscretions. -- Provided by publisher
