Especially during migration, exploring South Dakota is like experiencing a safari. Thousands of ducks, geese, and cranes visit the myriad wetlands that dot the grasslands and farmlands, often in numbers that overwhelm and inspire. State mammal Coyote as well as megafauna like Elk and deer forage on the edges of aspen forests. In the upland Black Hills, American Dippers occupy streams and rivers, while Bighorn Sheep and Mountain Goats patrol rocky ridges and cliff faces. Animals often represent the face of landscape, so it helps to get acquainted with the most representative species when looking to forge deeper connections with the land. You can do this with the portable reference South Dakota Wildlife, which is beautifully illustrated with 140 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 educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who are keen to explore the Mount Rushmore State's varied landscapes and their attendant animals. Made in the USA.
