Alabama Wildlife - Pocket Guide

From the Gulf beaches to the lower Appalachian Mountains, it's no surprise that Alabama harbors a diversity of wildlife ranging from shore crabs and salamanders to the majestic state mammal, the Black Bear. Alabama Wildlife is a beautifully illustrated guide that highlights over 140 familiar and unique species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, seashore creatures and butterflies/insects. An ecoregion map also features the state's most prominent wildlife-viewing areas. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, pocket-sized folding guide is an excellent source of portable information and ideal for field use by visitors and resident alike. Made in the USA. Zoologist Jim Kavanagh has made a career out of introducing novices to plants, animals, the sciences and world cultures. In addition to creating over 500 simplified nature guides, he has also authored guides to languages, cities and outdoor skills. An avid traveler and backpacker, Kavanagh’s path has taken him around the world to many remote destinations including the upper Amazon, Africa, Australia, and the Arctic Circle (and this is just the As). He is also the author of a series of state-specific guides to common species and natural attractions and a children's book on evolution.
