Calling all animal lovers! 50 hands-on activities and adventures that bring you closer to wild animals than you’ve ever been.

Have you ever followed animal tracks in the mud or chased after the glowing trail of a firefly in the night sky? Want to know how to hold a snake, feed a bird from your hat, and help salamanders cross the road? If so, you’re not just an animal lover—you’re an animal adventurer, and this is the book for you. It’s packed full of hands-on activities and projects that bring you closer to wild animals than ever before—from feathery birds and furry mammals to slippery herps, crawly arthropods, and other intriguing invertebrates. You’ll get insider tips about tools and techniques of the trade, become a citizen scientist, and then record handy field notes about all your amazing animal discoveries.
 
Look inside to learn how to:

Track wild animals any time of year 

Use a flashlight for night vision to spy on nocturnal animals

Start your very own animal scat collection and impress your friends

Build a wildlife blind and become invisible to animals around you

Collect things like snakeskins, fossils, and feathers

Keep a wild guide to your own backyard

And so much more!
