Indiana Wildlife

by Waterford Press

Overview

There are continuous wildlife-viewing opportunities in Indiana, owing in large part to its diverse array of ecosystems, which includes hardwood forests, acid peatlands, fens, wet prairies, savannas, rock barrens, and grasslands. Many looking to forge deeper and more meaningful connections with these landscapes look to animals, and it helps to have a portable reference like Indiana Wildlife to cut through the clutter and focus on the most representative species. This beautifully illustrated collection features 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 those looking to learn more about Indiana's animals and the fascinating lives they lead. Made in the USA.
