Iowa Wildlife
A general Thread about Wildlife in Iowa. What are the most common animals natural to Iowa? Which Iowa Wildlife is considered protected by local laws?
We have all sorts of wildlife here in Iowa. The common ones are Deer, raccoons, possums and bobcats. We have a lot of birds if you like to bird watch to include Bald Eagles. Some people have spotted cougars in Iowa but not many and we have even had Moose come down at times if the northern winters are harsh. Every now and then a black or brown bear will be spotted but game wardens usually take them away as soon as they can tranq them.
