Animal Identification
The process of animal identification requires a keen sense of observation as well as a good set of resources. Field guides, classification keys, and other reference materials (photographs, track patterns, recordings of calls) all help to pinpoint a species of interest.

Field guides include guides to habitats—deserts, coastal regions, forests, wetlands; guides to activities—wildlife photography, hiking, eco-tourism; and guides to conservation—rare mammals, endangered species, threatened communities.
