Indiana's wildlife has always played an important role in the history of human beings inhabiting the state. Although the state’s wildlife is still an important resource for human consumption, wildlife is also increasingly important in today’s culture for its intrinsic, aesthetic value. For many Hoosiers, the age-old traditions of hunting and fishing have been replaced by a desire to simply observe wildlife and experience nature. But most Indianans are largely unaware of the diversity of species inhabiting their state. This volume is intended to provide an introduction to the state’s fresh water fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
In Indiana Wildlife Encyclopedia, nationally known naturalist Scott Shupe has collected information on all the native wildlife that reside in the Hoosier State. The fifth in a series of state wildlife encyclopedias, this book will be a handy, usable, layman’s guide to Indiana's native wildlife.
Shupe includes the size, habitat, and abundance of each species located in the state. Whether you’re a lover of the outdoors, photography, or are looking to learn more about your state, this comprehensive guide will teach you about the wonderful wildlife that covers the water, earth, and skies of Indiana.
