Ringtail

Ringtails are small mammals that are sometimes called "miner’s cats." They got their nickname in the 1800s, when miners in California and Arizona kept them as pets because they were so good at catching mice! Today, ringtails live in the wild throughout the Midwest and western United States, but people rarely see them. Ringtails are solitary animals that avoid people, and they are active at night, when most people are asleep. 


In Ringtail: Miner's Cat, kids will learn all about ringtails while they follow biology professor David Wyatt as he tracks the elusive animals in California. Interactive educational features such as pop-up word definitions, text highlighting and note taking, multi-touch zoom, and interactive study cards deliver an experience beyond the printed book.
