Wyoming Wildlife TV: When most people thing about Wyoming's wildlife, they think about large, charismatic game species -- elk, bighorn sheep, and mule deer. Wyoming is home to more than 800 species of wildlife, but only about 100 fish and wildlife species are considered game species. The rest are considered non-game, and they are important to the state's diverese ecosystems and to the state's economy. Some non-game species are in serious trouble, and potential listing under the Endagered Species Act could have far-reaching effects on the state.
