What myths am I referring to?

Our group watching the first Snow Leopard from a knoll above our camp in Hemis National Park. Seeing a wild Snow Leopard is every wildlife enthusiast’s dream, probably the ultimate and most elusive wildlife experience on the planet. In fact some of our group decided to head back to camp.

Good news for wolves in the Great Lakes area. The ruling today affects wolves in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. It's in response to a lawsuit filed by several environmental groups, including The Humane Society of the United States. Fish and Wildlife Service was not supported by the federal Endangered Species Act.

I was looking out a car window the other day and noticed that of all the wildlife most of it was bird. This is also a hard question to address because most data on animal size distribution does not compare across classes of animals, and/or focuses on groups that would not be helpful.

Each family section begins with a Group Account, an overall section giving the number of species in the family and nesting commonalities and differences. The organization varies, and there are sometimes more than one Group Accounts for a family. Sometimes there’s even more than text! This happens a lot in the shorebird sections.
