American Burying Beetle – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the American Burying Beetle:
The American Burying Beetle - also called the Giant carrion beetle, is a critically endangered species of beetle native to North America. It belongs to the order Coleoptera and the family Silphidae. It is carnivorous, feeding on carrion and also requires carrion to breed. It is one of the few species of beetle to exhibit parental care. The beetle used to be very widespread over much of the central eastern US and parts of southern Canada. But now it inhabits about 10% of it's original range. This decline has been attributed to habitat loss, alteration, and degradation of it's habitat, along with uses of pesticides and other chemicals for agriculture. Now, natural populations are known to occur in only five states: on Block Island in Rhode Island, Oklahoma, Arkansas, South Dakota and Nebraska. They have also been reintroduced to Ohio. The species is now considered critically endangered by several environmental groups. Biologists have not been able to explain why the beetle has disappeared from so many areas. The dramatic disappearance of this insect from many areas, however, took place before widespread use of DDT.

American Coot – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the American Coot:
The American Coot is a member of the family Rallidae - which are small to medium sized birds, usually associated with lakes, marshes and other wetlands. This family includes the crakes, coots, and gallinules. They are a very widespread family of birds inhabiting nearly every climate on the earth. American Coots usually measure about 13–17 inches (34–43 cm)in length and have a wingspan of roughly 23-29 inches (58–71 cm) They are found throughout much of North America, down through Central and into South America. They are largely migratory, although that behavior has been in decline and more birds winter year round in some locations. While not the strongest fliers, they do have great endurance and are sometimes found thousands of miles from their native regions, sometimes reaching Europe and even Tasmania. They have large, comical looking feet like other species of their family which are highly adapted to their environments in the marshes, where they can use them to walk across vegetation on the surface.

American Crocodile – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the American Crocodile:
The American Crocodile is a large, carnivorous reptile native to the swamps, streams and other waterways of the Neotropics. Of the four living species of Crocodile it is the most numerous and widespread, reaching from the Atlantic to the Pacific in parts of Mexico down well into South America. There are also populations in Cuba and Jamaica. They are very large reptiles, with some older males reaching lengths of over fifteen feet. Crocodiles can slow their rate of digestion during cold weather and go many weeks without eating. Like many of the world's large crocodiles, their conservation status is considered endangered due to overhunting and habitat loss.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

American Crow – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the American Crow:
The American Crow is a member of the order of Passeriformes or perching birds. They are about 16–20 inches long (40–50 cm) with the tail making up about 40% their total length. Each wing is around 11–14 inches long (27–34 cm) Crows are highly intelligent birds that can be found in nearly every type of environment on the planet - natural or man-made. They've been witnessed using tools to obtain food or solve other types of problems. On a road where there is slow moving traffic, crows in Japan learned to drop tough-shelled nuts onto it, and waiting for the cars to run over and break open the nuts, returning then to eat them. While they look similar to ravens, the crow can be distinguished by being somewhat smaller and billed, which is slightly more curved.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

American Fisher – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Fisher:
The Fisher is a member of the family Mustelidae. It is native to large areas of North America stretching from the East Coat to the West, including much of the northern boreal forests of Canada, parts of the upper New England Area and large areas of the Pacific Northwest. The Fisher is sometimes called a "Fisher Cat" but it is not a feline. Both sexes are similar in appearance, but the males are slightly larger - growing to an adult size of 35-47 inches (90-120 cm) and weighing about 8-13 pounds (2-2.5 kilograms.) The Fisher is one of the top predators in it's environment, and has little to fear from any other animals (apart from humans.) They are extremely agile, quick and intelligent and are opportunistis feeders, taking live prey such as small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, insect but will also feed on fruit, nuts and mushroom. They will even feed on carrion and road kill, such as deer and moose.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

American Green Tree Frog – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the American Green Treefrog:
The American Green Treefrog is a species of New World treefrogs. It is a member of the genus Hyla. These lovely green amphibians are common throughout much of the southeastern wetlands of the United States. The coloration of these frogs can vary somewhat from bright yellow-olive to lime green. They are the official amphibian of Georgia and Louisiana. Despite climate change and habitat loss, these frogs are not considered. American Green Tree Frogs are insectivores, usually consuming flies, mosquitoes, and other small insects like crickets. These handsome little frogs make popular pets and do very well in captivity. The Green Treefrog is the state amphibian of both the states of Georgia and Louisiana.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

American Kestrel – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the American Kestrel:
The American Kestrel is a small falcon widely distributed across the Americas. In some areas the kestrel is called the 'Sparrow Hawk.' They feed on insects, lizards, small mammals and birds. They are the smallest falcon in North America - being not much larger than a robin. Rarely these birds are found in western Europe. They are found in open areas when they can hunt prey, but they're also found in parks, suburbs, open fields, forest edges and openings, alpine zones, grasslands, marshes, prairies, deserts with large cacti, and freeway and highway corridors. While they are skilled hunters they will occasionally steal prey from other birds and even other of their own species.

American Mastodon – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the American Mastodon:
Mastodons are extinct mammals from the order Proboscidea. They are believed to have lived up until about 11,000 years ago. Just exactly why they went extinct is a matter of debate, but it seems a number of factors, such as climate change, hunting by primitive humanoid races and perhaps even a small meteor strike may have factored into their demise. While they were alive, the Mastodon inhabited much of the world, including what is now Asia, Africa, Europe and North and Central America. In recent years, there has been much talk about the possibility of resurrecting the species, because scientists have worked out part of the genetic structure of the animal.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
