Inhoud:

Grouse are a source of fascination for people, not least for their spectacular displays and ability to survive the Arctic winter. To survive the extreme cold the birds have evolved pectinations - or shovels - on their toes to excavate burrows in the snow in which they spend up to 22 hours or more daily. This book explores grouse's evolution.
