Oklahoma Wildlife

With its varied topography and vast east-west reach, Oklahoma is a great place to observe and learn about animals. There are touches of east, west, north, and south throughout the Sooner State, whether it be in the upland Wichita Mountains, the tallgrass prairies of the west, or the hardwood forests of the east. Megafauna like Elk, American Bison, and Pronghorn roam the Great Plains, where large congregations of waterfowl and Sandhill Cranes can also be seen. At higher altitudes, state reptile Eastern Collared Lizard hides among rocky areas. State bird Scissor-tailed Flycatcher inhabits grasslands, where it is often seen on fenceposts. With thousands of animals to sift through, it is easy to get overwhelmed, which is why is helps to have a portable reference on hand for focusing on a smaller group of representative species. You can do this with Oklahoma Wildlife, a handy resource that includes beautiful illustrations of 140 common mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, butterflies, and other insects as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 wildlife-viewing hotspots and learning sites.
