MORPHO Mammals: Elements of Comparative Morphology from Rocky Nook is a small, portable softcover book featuring over 500 drawings for 100 species of mammals from land, water, and air habitats. Author Michel Lauricella defines the anatomical characteristics common to mammals and demonstrates the links between form and function for mammals based on their behaviors, such as burrowing, walking, running, leaping, climbing, flying, and swimming. The instruction and drawings in this book offer insights for artists of all kinds, helping you in both your observational drawing of mammals and your creation of imaginary animals so that they appear realistic and believable.
