Pictorial colour photographic laminated boards,8vo,291pp includes b/w line illus maps and diagrams,b/w+colour photographs, appendices (8),a bibliography and an index. Star performers in aquariums and marine parks,killer whales were once considered to be too dangerous to approach in the wild.Erich Hoyt and his colleagues spent seven summers following these intelligent and playful creatures in the waters off northern Vancouver Island,intent on dispelling the killer myth.This is Hoyt's exciting account of those summers of adventure and discovery. First published in 1981,this revised edn now contains the latest world-catch and live-capture statistics as well as updated records of killer whales kept captive.A foreword by the late Peter Scott,one of the founders of the World Wildlife Fund,and an expanded epilogue and references by the author make this new volume an even finer tribute to "one of the most fascinating and charismatic animals in the world."
