Kansas Wildlife: An Introduction to Familiar Species
Rich grasslands — including tallgrass, mixedgrass, and shortgrass prairies — hardwood forests, and a myriad of wetlands host a diverse assemblage of wildlife in Kansas. Perhaps the best-known animal is state mammal American Bison, and there are other notable species like Pronghorn, Lesser Prairie Chicken, Sandhill Crane, and Texas Horned Lizard. Animals often serve as the face of an ecosystem, so it helps to get acquainted with them by learning about the most representative species. You can do this with the portable reference Kansas Wildlife, which includes beautiful illustrations of 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 connect more meaningfully with Kansan animals and peer closely into their fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
