About Wildlife, Landscapes, and Geology

To find and observe wildlife in the Canadian Rockies and arid prairies, it’s best to first check out the local geology. WILDLIFE, LANDSCAPES, AND GEOLOGY, AN ALBERTA AND SASKATCHEWAN TOURING GUIDE explores connections between wildlife habitat, beautiful landscapes, and geology. The book takes you exploring to find animals located in scenic backdrops.

From the Rocky Mountains to the vast rain shadow of the prairies, from deeply entrenched rivers and their prairie oases, and glaciated terrain, geology has a strong impact on wildlife. The relationship between wildlife and landscape is explored and exemplified in the lives of golden eagles and the Rockies, the American pika and eroding mountains, of burrowing owls on glaciated plains, and greater short-horned lizards surviving in semi-arid badlands.
