About This Book

The work presents a compact natural-history survey of marine mammals, chiefly seals and walruses, combining anatomical description with observations of behavior, habitat, feeding and reproduction. It details physical features and locomotion, occurrence in seas and inland waters, and tendencies toward taming. Practical sections describe hunting techniques and equipment — harpoons with floats, firearms, use of pups to lure adults, and ice- and boat-based methods — and catalog the uses made of these animals, including meat, oil, skins, sinews and bone, concluding with pragmatic advice for hunters and ethnographic notes on human–animal relations.
