Connecting Habitat for Migratory Species ???? During the warm months, many wildlife species in mountainous regions settle into higher-elevation summer ranges, with moderate temperatures and relatively abundant food. Once winter moves in, food and water become less available, leading wildlife to seek out habitat offering more available resources and more protected shelter. Elk, mule deer, and pronghorn all have been documented migrating well over 100 miles from their summer to winter ranges. Working with partners, NWF seeks to connect wildlife habitat, reducing fragmentation and improving corridors for migratory species. Want to learn more?

Overly Quail-ified ?? Do you know what a small flock of quail is called? A covey. There are six native species of quail in North America. Most quail species have average flight speeds of 30-40 mph and eat a wide variety of foods including insects, seeds, leaves, and berries. Quail may spend most of their lives in relatively small areas, living in coveys for part of the year and breaking into pairs during the breeding season. #wildlife #funfacts #birds #quail #nature #northamerican

Did you know a river otter can stay underwater for as long as eight minutes? ?? River otters communicate with whistles, yelps, growls, and screams, as well as touch and body posture. They can grow three to four feet (0.9 to 1.2 meters) long including their tail and weigh between 11 and 30 pounds (5 to 14 kilograms). Their long, strong tail helps propel the otter through the water at quick speeds. On land a river otter can run at speeds of up to 15 miles (24 kilometers) an hour—they can slide even faster. Fun fact: North American river otters can close their nostrils to keep water out during long dives. #wildlife #funfacts #otters #rivers #waters #nature
