#38 Animal Investigators by Laurel A. Neme

[missingvolume]

The full title is Animal Investigators: How the World's First Wildlife Forensics Lab Is Catching Poachers, Solving Crimes, and Saving Endangered Species. I had heard an interview with the author and decided to pick this up and give it a try. The book covers a few completely different cases in the US that the lab worked on. They discuss how they came up with different ways to tell how a walrus died in order to show they were killed only for their ivory. the book doesn't get into the hard science that much but it was a rather interesting peek into the world of wildlife protection.

There were several incidents where poachers with high power rifles were shot. High power is illegal here. The land owner did not suffer for the shooting.

How sad for the poachers. NOT!
