USA

The USA is a very large country with the 4th largest territorial area (including seas) and 3rd largest land mass (being only slightly smaller to the second largest). Ranging from some of the hottest places on the planet in death valley in California (56 degrees celcius) to one of the coldest recorded at -62 celcius in Prospect creek in central Alaska. As a result of this, there is a wide range of native wildlife. There is a range of wildlife that has been lost, and many others heavily reduced, but it is still a country with an incredibly diverse natural heritage. Jaguars and Ocelots are heavily depleted, but are returning from Mexico where they have retained a healthy population – this is only just starting for the Jaguar, and it is questionable whether this will be allowed, and the Ocelot which still has populations in southern USA.

Given the the huge size of the country, we will over time, create pages for individual states. These will be accessible through the map below. State pages will be built as they are required for adding destinations (so do send in your destinations). All of these will appear on the sightings map (which you can zoom in on, to be able to see very small details). States will change colour when they become clickable (with a state page lying behind it).

USASightings map - As destinations are added, which you can actually visit, they will become clickaboe below

USA Regions - they will change colour when there is a page behind it. The map to the right will mark large destinations.

There are a wide range of places that are great to go for wildlife. We will work to link with operators around this country over time, but below the news section are links to our pages about those we identified within Canada. They will also be on the map above.
