Download or read book Texas Wildlife Encyclopedia written by Scott Shupe and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Included are over 700 color photographs, depicting the different species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish, while offering over 600 range maps to show their territory, along with basic information for the biology of each animal, Texas'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 For manyTexans, the age-old traditions of hunting and fishing have been replaced by a desire to simply observe wildlife and experience nature. But most Texans 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 Texas Wildlife Encyclopedia, nationally known naturalist Scott Shupe has collected information on all the native wildlife that reside in the Lone Star State. The fifth in a series of state wildlife encyclopedias, this book will be a handy, usable, layman’s guide to Texas'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.

Download or read book Wildlife and Man in Texas written by Robin W. Doughty and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author uses letters, journals, and travel accounts to show the early attitudes toward the uses of indigenous birds and mammals of Texas. Surviving on nature's bounty and remorselessly exterminating her threats--wolves, cougars, and other wily critters--settlers exploited Texas' pristine fecundity. Some species benefited from disturbed environments; others were unable to adjust to human presence and disappeared. By the 1880s concern about the diminishing numbers of many preferred species led to enactment of game laws and other efforts to protect and manage wildlife. Today, the author argues, habitat change is the most pressing issue confronting conservationists.
