British Columbia Wildlife: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Animals

With a greater number of ecosystems and species than any other Canadian province or territory, British Columbia is a biodiversity hotspot. Of its 136 mammal species, 24 are found nowhere else in Canada. Over 500 species of birds can be found in BC, 360 of which breed in the province. An astounding 35,000 insect species occur in Canada's westernmost province. To sift through such a diverse array of animals, it is helpful to have a beautifully illustrated collection of the 140 most common and familiar mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, seashore creatures, butterflies, and other insects. Especially useful is the ecoregion map showing over 20 wildlife-viewing hotspots. Laminated for durability, this 12-panel folding pocket guide is the perfect companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and wildlife enthusiasts who want to not only learn to identify BC's representative wildlife, but wish to forge a deeper relationship with the land through its attendant animal species. Made in the USA.
