This course will cover the diversity of fish, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and birds both around the world and here in Illinois. It will provide basic information on how these organisms are able to survive in the harshest environments ranging from the Sahara Desert to Michigan Avenue, Chicago. The course will introduce students to the variety of behaviors exhibited by different organisms (e.g. the mating displays of birds of paradise, the great migrations of mammals and birds). While many of these behaviors occur in remote locations, the course will highlight the amazing behaviors of animals in the student?s backyard. The course will have a strong conservation component where students are introduced to a variety of threats facing animals. It will also present information on how to manage sustainable populations in order to provide fishing and hunting opportunities. Finally, the students will be exposed to current issues in Illinois to illustrate how people and animals can co-occur and a broad overview of the management, restoration, and conservation techniques require to maintain animal populations.
