I help conduct yearly panels on totem animals at a favorite con of mine. Each year we pick an animal and try to learn all we can about it. Sometimes this is easy, sometimes? Not so. The entire "Animal" series is worth a look, no matter what critters you like. I started with Crow and Salmon, and now have Bear and Cat. They are each researched in great detail, illustrated with great images, and have juicy bibliographies. They're fun to read and thought provoking, and I recommend them for anyone curious about the relationship between humans and our fellow animals. Great stuff.
