The first comprehensive book in more than a century dedicated entirely to Yosemite’s remarkable wild animal world. Countless books have been written about Yosemite National Park’s renowned scenery, yet as incredible as it is to us, Half Dome is also someone’s home. Social media is flooded with people all over the world sharing their excitement about the antics of the park’s distinctive residents: black bears causing traffic in “bear jams,” mule deer grazing in Ahwahnee Meadow, and coyotes sauntering in the shadow of El Capitan. Yosemite Wildlife goes beyond the field guides and offers extensive portraits of the park’s creatures—a remarkable new publication sure to be welcomed by the more than 4 million annual park visitors and anyone interested in the Sierra Nevada. Readers will discover:150+ species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects300+ photographs and archival imagesCommonly and rarely seen animalsRewilding success storiesProfiles of the park biologists and others who protect wildlife This lively and accessible blend of storytelling, the latest research, natural history, and compelling wildlife photographs fills a 100-year gap in publishing that will deeply connect people to this incredible national park in California. Envisioned and written by conservation leader Beth Pratt and featuring photography by naturalist and photographer Robb Hirsch, Yosemite Wildlife shines a spotlight on species that not only make their homes in the park, but also come with only-in-Yosemite stories such as those charismatic bears, the peregrine falcons brought back from the brink of extinction in part by big-wall rock climbers, and the tiny amphibians that persist on the tallest peaks. The book celebrates decades of conservation and observation, by visitors and professionals, through highlighting charming and nostalgic pieces from the park’s Archive, such as reproductions of handwritten wildlife observation cards and articles excerpted from the beloved Yosemite Nature Notes magazine. Some of this archival material has never been published! This image-rich, engagingly readable volume is a feast for the eyes and has been crafted to appeal to anyone eager to dip in and find out more about Yosemite’s enchanting wildlife. Yet the breadth and depth of information will also serve as an excellent reference for educators and scientists. Yosemite has been called the “jewel of the national park system.” Yosemite Wildlife does this distinction proud, showcasing the creatures of the park that are as captivating as the spray of Yosemite Falls, the dizzying heights of Glacier Point, or the iconic Half Dome.

A groundbreaking exploration of how life survives in extreme habitats, for fans of Ed Yong, Merlin Sheldrake and David Attenborough.
