Designed for ease of use and featuring only mammals of the Southwest, the booklet is organized by group for quick and easy identification. Narrow your choices by group, and view just a few animal tracks at a time.

The pocket-sized format is much easier to use than laminated foldouts, and the tear-resistant pages help to make the book durable.
