A dynamic, fact-filled guide to the natural world of Los Angeles from the experts at the Natural History Museum. Los Angeles may have a reputation as a concrete jungle, but in reality, it is a biodiversity hotspot teaming with an amazing array of animals and plants. You just need to know where to find them. Wild L.A. - published in conjunction with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County - is the guidebook residents and visitors have been waiting for. Equal parts natural history, field guide, and trip planner, this fun-filled book has something for everyone. First, readers will learn how past events shaped the city. Next, profiles of 100 key species highlight the city's hidden gems like flying squirrels, green turtles, and jacaranda trees. Also included are day trips that detail where the natural wonders can be experienced on hiking trails, in public parks, and in the reader's own backyard. AUTHOR: The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County was the first dedicated museum building in Los Angeles, opening its doors in 1913. It has amassed one of the world's most extensive and valuable collections of natural and cultural history with more than 35 million objects, some as old as 4.5 billion years. The Natural History Family of Museums includes the NHM, the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits, and the William S. Hart Park and Museum. 250 colour photographs
