Mississippi: White-Tailed Deer
The white-tailed deer is found all over our great country, but bear the distinction of being Mississippi's state mammal.
Oklahoma: Ruby-Throated Hummingbird
The ruby-throated hummingbird may be small, but it has a large brain proportionally compared to its teeny body. It also boasts seriously strong wing muscles, thanks to its workout just to fly. The wings beat 70 times a second when the hummingbird hovers.
Connecticut: Snowshoe Hare
Found mainly in the northwest region of the state, the snowshoe hare is born with a distinctive advantage: They're born fully-furred, with open eyes, and can pretty much walk and hop right away..
Alabama: Swamp Rabbit
The swamp rabbit can adapt to a wide variety of habitats, from woodlands to honeysuckle patches. Their name may make it seem like they eat, well, swamp things, but their diet includes leaves, fruit, corn, and soybeans.
Idaho: Calliope Hummingbird
With its brilliant purple throat feathers, the calliope hummingbird is one of the tiniest animals in Idaho. In fact, it's the tiniest bird in North America! Coming in at 3 inches in length and weighing one-tenth of an ounce, this hummingbird is stronger than you think. Some can migrate from Canada to Mexico.
Indiana: Red Fox
This Indiana native animal can be found all over this fine country. The standout feature of the red fox is its bushy tail that it uses to signal to fellow foxes.
Kentucky: Eastern Chipmunk
Kentucky is one of the many homes of the eastern chipmunk, Kentucky's only striped squirrel. (No, really.) If you've ever wondered why you frequently find chipmunks hanging out on stumps, there's a great reason. The high elevation allows the chipmunk to keep a lookout for predators.
Michigan: Kirtlands Warbler
This cute little bird spends its summers in Michigan, then winters in Bahamas. Which, coincidentally, is also our ultimate life plan.
