Great Lakes Sea Lamprey: The 70 Year War on a Biological InvaderThe stuff of nightmares in both their looks and the wounds inflicted on their victims, sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) are perhaps the deadliest invasive species to ever enter the Great Lakes. At the invasion's apex in the mid 20th century, harvests of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), the lampreys' preferred host fish in the Great Lakes, plummeted from peak annual catches of 15 million pounds to just a few hundred thousand pounds per year a drop
The stuff of nightmares in both their looks and the wounds inflicted on their victims, sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) are perhaps the deadliest invasive species to ever enter the Great Lakes. At the invasion's apex in the mid-20th century, harvests of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), the lampreys' preferred host fish in the Great Lakes, plummeted from peak annual catches of 15 million pounds to just a few hundred thousand pounds per year--a drop of 98% in only a few decades. Threatening the complete collapse of the fishery, the sea lamprey invasion triggered an environmental awakening in the region and prompted an international treaty that secured unprecedented cooperation across political boundaries to protect the Great Lakes. Fueled by a pioneering scientific spirit, the war on Great Lakes sea lampreys led to discoveries that are the backbone of the program that eventually brought the creature under control and still protects the largest freshwater ecosystem in the world to this day. Great Lakes Sea Lamprey draws on extensive interviews with individuals who experienced the invasion firsthand as well as a trove of unexplored archival materials to tell the incredible story of sea lamprey in the Great Lakes--what started the invasion, how it was halted, and what this history can teach us about the response to biological invaders in the present and future. Richly illustrated with color and black & white photographs, the book will interest readers concerned with the health of the Great Lakes, the history of the conservation movement, and the ongoing threat of invasive species.Binding Type: Hardcover

Not Pitty Proof..
Color: Bear, Color: Bear
The toy itself was very detailed and cute, But my potty had the toy about 10 mins and she took the leg off .. it’s a bit pricey. Since it didn’t last long so .. if you have pitty save your money and don’t buy it ..

The only plush toys that last for my girl!
These are awesome! I have a 4 year old doberman and she destroys most plush toys in a matter of minutes. These are the only ones that last and are worth the money! Even once she does pull the stuffing out, the shell of the toy is still mostly intact and she'll play with that for a long time as well!

Our doggies favorite toy
Color: Yellow, Color: Yellow
This is our 3 dog’s favorite toy! We’ve had it for over a year, it’s lived outside for a while, was buried, found, taken all around the house. This toy shows up in the most random places and is still in tack (for the most part). They fight over this toy. They also have the pig from the same brand and it’s still alive! Other toys are usually shredded in a few days.

Not a strong toy for chewers.
Color: Yellow
Not quite as strong as its description. My dog chewed off its foot within the first 10 minutes . I expected it to be stronger because it’s made of Kevlar material but it’s not that durable. Save your money it is far from being durable / indestructible.
