Little Rock AR Wildlife Information

Arkansas Wildlife Commission: 501-223-6300

If you have any questions about the wildlife of Little Rock, you can contact the Arkansas Wildlife Commission, sometimes called the Arkansas Fish & Wildlife Agency. Arkansas game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and Little Rock wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. If you have a problem with nuisance wildlife in Little Rock like squirrels, snakes, bats, or raccoons, the state agency is very unlikely to help. You need to hire a private company (here are their prices) such as D&G Varmint Control Inc. at 501-436-4995.

I also have listed several sources for free Little Rock wildlife help. One example, if you've found an injured animal or lost baby bird or other baby animal is the Little Rock Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic: 501-772-9273 Or just read below for more info about the wild animals of Little Rock.

Types of Wildlife and Animal Problems in Little Rock, AR

Arkansas State bird: Mockingbird
State mammal: White-tailed deer
State insect: European honeybee

Arkansas's nickname is 'the natural state'. It is a place of dense woodlands, rolling prairies and fertile soil. The state has many lakes and rivers, and an unusual land formation known as Crowley's Ridge. The ridge bisects what is known as the Delta region, with peaks rising upwards to 500 feet above sea level. The ridge is the only elevation in that area of the state. The northwestern region contains the Ozark Mountains, the only major mountain range between the Appalachians and the Rockies. The summer weather is humid and warm, and winters tend to be much cooler and drier. Because of the varying elevations, Arkansas sees several significant snowfalls annually. The state also is the only state where diamonds are mined in the U.S.

Because Arkansas has a large number of cave systems and locations of thick woodlands, the state is a popular place for bats. There are 16 bat species in Arkansas, many of which rely on the Ozark caves. Other cave dwellers include the endangered cave crayfish and the Ozark cavefish. The mountains are also home to a species of terrestrial snail known to only exist on Mount Magazine.

The state has recently re-introduced populations of both black bears and elk, two species which were struggling due to human encroachment into the wild. Through careful management, both are now thriving. Aside from black bears, coyotes are now found in every county of Arkansas, though the canines were once quite rare. Coyotes and bobcats, as intermediate predators, thrive on the numerous small species that make the state home. The growth in coyote numbers can be traced back to the appearance of wild hogs, a species not native to Arkansas. The hogs grow in number quickly, providing a sustainable food source for hungry carnivores.

Pest animals are common in Arkansas, especially bats. While many of the bats choose to avoid contact with humans, roosting in the plentiful cavern systems of the Ozarks, it is not uncommon for homeowners to find bats in dark, dry places around the home�like and attic. Pocket gophers are another common pest critter in this state. Not only do pocket gophers create tunnels for their own use, their systems often serve as homes for other rodents, reptiles and small mammals. Other pest animals include raccoons, opossums, rats, mice, skunks, squirrels, armadillos, and snakes.

Little Rock Wildlife Tip
What To Do About A Rodent On The Attic - Many people do not consider a rodent infestation to be a major problem - until they discover how much damage these inquisitive and adventurous rodents can cause. Once a single rodent has found its way into the five star accommodations that is your attic, you can be sure that they will invite all their friends over. Before you know it, you will have a whole colony of rodents up there. It is easy enough for a rodent to find a way into your home or attic, through a heating or air conditioning vent, through an open or broken window, through the tiniest of holes left by a worker. Once you have dealt with your rodent infestation, you must take stringent steps to seal your home against further invasion.

If you do manage to evict the whole rodent colony from your attic you will no doubt, have quite a bit of work to do up there cleaning up after them. You may need to replace all of the insulation and conduct a thorough deep clean. In common with most rodents rodents tend to spray their feces around their locale and very often release a constant stream of urine as they run around. When cleaning it's important to consider wearing a mask and gloves because there will be quite a bit of hazardous waste you'll be subjecting yourself to.

Little Rock, AR Wildlife News Clip:
Man kills raccoon with bare hands in Arkansas

The Little Rock Wildman finally subdued the five-point whitetail raccoon that crashed through a bedroom window at his daughter's home Friday. When it was over, blood splattered the walls and the raccoon lay dead on the bedroom floor, its neck broken. The Little Rock Wildman was at his daughter's home when he heard glass breaking. He went back to check on the noise and found the raccoon.

The Little Rock Wildman entered the bedroom to confront the raccoon and, after a brief struggle, emerged to tell his wife to call police. After returning to the bedroom, the fight continued. The Little Rock Wildman finally was able to grip the animal and twist its neck, killing it, the AP reports. Although several species of wildlife roam Little Rock, only a few, such as raccoons and squirrels, are considered pest wildlife.

The Little Rock Wildman, sore from the struggle, dragged the dead animal out of the house. At this time of year, a buck that sees its reflection in a window often charges, believing it is fighting off a rival, Gay said. Arkansas has an abundance of wildlife, and Little Rock is no exception.

Little Rock is the capital city and largest in the state of Arkansas. The city of Little Rock got its name from a small rock called La Petite Roche, on the south bank of the Arkansas River. The "little rock" was used by early river traffic as a landmark and became a well-known river crossing, and later, the capital of Arkansas. It has a population of roughly 183,000 people, and is the central hub of the state of Arkansas, located in Pulaski County. The major industries that make up this city are robotics, wood products, aerospace, government, and the arts. Because of the city's strong political background and rich history dating back to the early 1700's, Little Rock is often considered a bridge between the past and present. To most, Little Rock is known as the home city of former United States President, Bill Clinton. In 2004, the William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Library was built and opened as one of the major attractions to the city. Other attractions include the River Farmers Market and River Front Park.
