This is the long, catalog/marketing description of the product.
The largest state in the union at over 665,000 square miles, Alaska spans 32 distinct ecoregions, including the moist Pacific Northwest coast, the remote Aleutian Islands, Arctic tundra, and coastal mountains. The Last Frontier State is dramatic as it is biodiverse, and it is home to a remarkable assemblage of wildlife, from the state marine mammal — the long-lived Bowhead Whale — to the iconic Polar Bear. Getting to know the animals that make their homes in such an awe-inspiring landscape is a privilege, and you can do so with this beautifully illustrated collection of 140 common and familiar mammals, birds, amphibians, fishes, and seashore creatures. The ecoregion map on the back panel includes over 20 top wildlife-viewing sites. Laminated for durability, this folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and wildlife enthusiasts looking to deepen their relationship with Alaskan fauna. Made in the USA.
