Ranch Wildlife

The National Ranching Heritage Center is proud to partner with Hank the Cowdog for Ranch Wildlife, the latest addition to the Ranch Life Learning series. Did you think that horses, cattle and cowdogs are the only animals you’d find on a ranch? Think again! In these pages, you’ll learn about the many kinds of wild animals you might see if you spent a few days on Hank’s ranch in the Texas Panhandle. Coyotes, buzzards, porcupines, rabbits, rattlesnakes, and burrowing owls all make frequent appearances in the Hank the Cowdog books, but how about the other important animals that you don’t hear about as often? You guessed it, Hank knows all about them too, and here’s your chance to learn from the best!
