| "A white-tailed buck bears his deep-red coat amidst the lush vegetation of Cades Cover. A deer's summer coat has more individual hairs than its winter coat. The more numerous but finer summer hairs provide protection from biting insects."
-from page 32 "Extremely social animals, three otters collapse in a heap for a quick break. Thanks to reintroduction efforts by the National Park Service, otters once again inhabit the rivers and streams of the Great Smoky Mountains."
