This is the long, catalog/marketing description of the product.
Georgia is a fertile ground for exploring and learning more about animals, whether it be a dazzling songbird like Painted Bunting, state reptile Gopher Tortoise, or an iconic mammal like Bobcat. With varied topography and several unique ecoregions including forested mountains, river floodplains, coastal lowlands, and multiple aquatic habitats, the Peach State is one of the most biodiverse in the US. Not to be forgotten is the impressive coastal and marine life. For as exciting as such a wide variety of species is, it can be a bit daunting at the outset, so it helps to have a portable reference like Georgia Wildlife to help get started. This beautifully illustrated collection features 140 common and familiar mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, butterflies, other insects, and seashore creatures as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 top wildlife-viewing and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to deepen their connection with the land and its attendant animals. Made in the USA.
