Too close for comfort


Edited by Daniel Lunney, Adam Munn and Will Meikle

This publication contains papers concerning encounters with wildlife which were presented at the Forum of the Royal Zoological Society of NSW and cover encounters with - koalas, possums, kangaroos, bandicoots, flying foxes, dolphins, sea lions, whales, eagles, magpies, dingoes, cats, roadkills, tourism and zoos, all with a strong urban emphasis

It is well worth reading the strongly worded foreword which outlines exactly what it fails to cover.
