The Mammals of Texas Field Guide is an easy-to-use book that helps the curious nature lover identify all species of mammals found in Texas, featuring full-color images of animals in their habitats.
Whether you happen upon an animal track or spot wildlife in nature, interacting with mammals is a thrill. With Stan Tekiela’s famous field guide, mammal identification is simple and informative.
Texas is a great place for wildlife watchers! This state is one of the few places to see magnificent mammals such as bighorn sheep and elk, along with many interesting animals such as the ringtail and the nine-banded armadillo. While northern river otters play in the lakes and rivers of far eastern Texas, bobcats thrive in nearly all habitats throughout the state. No matter where you may be in Texas, there is a wide variety of mammals to see and enjoy.

- All 157 of Texas’s mammals, from mice to mountain lions
- Facts about size, habitat, range, young, and more
- Times when each animal is most likely to be active and signs it might leave behind
- Professional photos, range maps, and track patterns

This second edition includes updated photographs and range maps, expanded information, and even more of Stan’s expert insights.
