'Looking For Wildlife?' Wildlife Checklist
A Wildlife Watching Checklist for the Wildlife Discovery Pages

All of the wildlife species you have learned about from the Wildlife Discovery Pages are listed in this handy checklist, called Looking For Wildlife? Print a copy to take along with you on family trips—"check off" the species of the birds, mammals, reptiles, or fish you see. (You might even find many close to home!) Print some of the activities (from the links under Helpful Links) to take along and refresh your knowledge. Share what you learn with the family.

For help in finding good places to watch wildlife, and to learn what you might see, go to the interactive Wildlife Viewing Maps!
