With 63 National Wildlife Refuges — the most of any US state — North Dakota is the ideal place to learn about and experience wildlife. Iconic megafauna like Elk, Moose, Pronghorn, and American Bison roam the prairies, wetlands, and aspen forests, while state bird Western Meadowlark is joined by other specialities like Sprague’s Pipit and Baird’s Sparrow in grasslands. State fish Northern Pike occupies the shallow waters of ponds and marshes. Animals often serve as the face of a landscape, so it helps to get acquainted with the most representative species to establish a foundation of knowledge on which to build. You can do this with the portable reference North Dakota Wildlife, which features 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 an invaluable resource for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts to use for identifying animals and peering more closely into their varied and fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
