The small but nature-filled state of Arkansas hosts an impressive assemblage of wildlife, including over 70 mammals, more than 400 birds, 155 butterflies, and a remarkable 115 reptiles and amphibians. It's no wonder that Arkansas is known as the Natural State, and you can forge a deeper connection with its common animals with this beautifully illustrated collection of 140 familiar species. The ecoregion map showing over 20 nature hotspots is especially useful. Laminated for durability, this 12-panel folding pocket guide is a portable companion that can accompany educators, learners, naturalists, and adventurers as they get to know Arkansas's varied landscapes and the animals that live within them. Made in the USA.
