SAN DIEGO, Sept. 11, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Do environmentalists have a sense of humor? We're about to find out, because this book is aimed right where their funny bone ought to be. The Hunter's Guide to Endangered Species by "The Old Biologist" is a humorous and satirical take on endangered species and environmental protection. It covers the gamut, poking fun at the science behind the endangered species issue, then explaining how and where (zoos and wildlife refuges, of course) to hunt these hapless creatures. It also looks at particular species, and describes the very human character flaws that got them into trouble in the first place. To top it off, the book has recipes for cooking them (the California Condor Soup is a real crowd pleaser).
Smart and witty, The Hunter's Guide to Endangered Species is designed to poke fun at a topic which is usually about as much fun as a heart attack, with everybody involved taking themselves way too seriously. This is the environmental/endangered species issue as seen through the eyes of a crotchety, politically incorrect old-time biologist, from the era when naturalists studied rare animals by shooting them.

About the Author
The "Old Biologist" is a native of California and an endangered species himself. After failing the Postal Worker's Personality Test, he became a free-lance biologist for hire, spending most of his professional life as an environmental consultant to a number of small, backward countries, some of "special interest" to the U.S. State Department. His work has taken him to sites around the world, where he has learned, first-hand, how to find, bag - and cook to perfection - some of the world's rarest animals. Following a number of threats on his life by the Least Bell's Vireo crime syndicate, he decided not to use his real name on this publication.
