Busted! When animals break the law
Join "America’s funniest science writer" (Washington Post), Mary Roach, on an investigation into the unpredictable world where wildlife and humans meet. What’s to be done about a jaywalking moose? A bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Roach tags along with animal-attack investigators, human-elephant conflict specialists, bear managers, and others. She travels from leopard-terrorized hamlets to St. Peter’s Square where gulls destroy the floral display. She taste-tests rat bait, installs a vulture effigy, and gets mugged by a macaque. Combining forensic science and conservation genetics with laser scarecrows, langur impersonators, and trespassing squirrels, Roach reveals much about humanity and nature’s lawbreakers.
