Los Angeles may have a reputation as a concrete jungle, but in reality, it's full of amazing wildlife. You just need to know where to find it! Equal parts natural history, field guide, and trip planner, Wild LA has something for everyone. It looks at the factors that shape local nature—including fire, floods, and climate—and profiles over 100 local species, from easy-to-spot squirrels and praying mantids to more elusive green sea turtles, bighorn sheep, and mountain lions. Also included are descriptions of day trips that help you explore natural wonders on hiking trails, in public parks, and in your own backyard.
I want to gift this to everyone I know who THINKS they know LA... As an LA native, I really appreciate books like this. Kudos to the Natural History museum!This is well-written and researched and offers great insights on local nature. Nice read for children and adults alike. It's a solid reference for anyone visiting LA or is curious about non-touristy activities and places to explore. I keep this in the guest room to encourage visitors to learn more about Los Angeles - shake the cliches and better understand the sprawling/complicated/beautiful place from a natural perspective.Nature is beautiful and everywhere! Bought this for my ecology major boyfriend. He loves the book, and as LA locals, we can't wait to find new places to take "field trips" to on the weekend! The illustrations and photos are beautiful, the writing is detailed and descriptive, and it's probably the best gift I've ever picked out for him!The Ultimate Guide to LA Nature This is a very fun book! The pros for me are that it's illustrated and full of interesting information such as what kind of wildlife and flora you can find in LA's most famous parks and green spaces - I had no idea that there was this much wildlife in LA! The book has photos and little stories about the creatures and green things in and around LA and I've been leaving it for visitors and coworkers. It's a great gift for any LA dweller and a good reminder that it's not all freeways and concrete here.
