Texas Wildlife by James Kavanagh
Texas is a great place to observe and learn about wildlife. Whether exploring the Gulf Coast, eastern forests and wetlands, central and northern prairies, or Chihuahuan Desert in the west, there are unique animals to be found. Over 30 species of bats occupy the Lone Star State, including the abundant Mexican Free-tailed Bat. State mammal Nine-banded Armadillo prowls low, wet areas; Black Bears and Bobcats forage in forests; Texas Horned Lizards prefer arid conditions. The Aransas Wildlife Refuge is the prime wintering site for endangered Whooping Cranes. For many people, animals represent the face of an ecosystem, so it helps to get familiar with the most representative species. You can do this with the beautifully illustrated Texas Wildlife, which includes 140 common and familiar mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, butterflies, and other insects as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 wildlife-viewing hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to forge deeper and more meaningful relationship with the land through its animals. Made in the USA.
