A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Animals

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Tennessee is a mecca for wildlife, especially in Great Smoky Mountains National Park where Black Bears forage at high altitudes and up to 30 species of salamanders occupy wet, shaded areas. Northerly bird species like Canada Warblers and Brown Creepers can be found in coniferous forests at high altitudes. Lower-altitude hardwood forests are home to Wood Thrushes, Acadian Flycatchers, White-tailed Deer, and state mammal Northern Raccoon. Smooth Softshell Turtles and Osprey live in the Big River Ecosystem. Sorting through so many animals is as overwhelming as it is exciting, so it helps to get acquainted with the most representative species first. You can do this with the portable reference Tennessee Wildlife, which is beautifully illustrated with 140 common and familiar mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, seashore creatures, 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 a terrific resource for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to deepen their connection with Tennessee’s landscapes and wetlands through their attendant animals. Made in the USA.
