Nebraska Wildlife

With its iconic sandhills, 2000 lakes, mighty rivers, and myriad marshes, as well as tallgrass, mixed-grass, and shortgrass prairies, Nebraska is rich in animal life. Megafauna like Elk, Pronghorns, Bighorn Sheep, and state mammal White-tailed Deer abound, as do a multitude of waterfowl and iconic birds like Sharp-tailed Grouse, American White Pelican, and state bird Western Meadowlark. There are also fascinating reptiles like Ornate Box Turtle and Great Plains Skink to go along with stunning butterflies such as Variegated Fritillary. Sifting through such a diverse assemblage of animals is challenging, so it helps to get acquainted with the most familiar species to establish a foundation of knowledge. A handy tool for doing so is the portable reference Nebraska Wildlife.
