Chapter 11- Gulf Coast Plains, Mississippi

The Gulf Coast Plains reach from the western Florida Panhandle, across Alabama while stretching over most of Mississippi while taking over some of western Tennessee, Kentucky, southwest Arkansas, Louisiana, the southeast corner of Oklahoma, and Texas. According to Landscope.org, The Gulf Plains have remained occupied by plants and animals due to the fact that it has never been glaciated and is one of the most bio diverse ecoregions in North America. The ecoregion is home to many species including vascular plants, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Various types of each of those spieces are only known to this region and remain limited even in the area. Unlike the Gulf Coast Plains ecoregion, Los Angeles, while being home to many animal species, is not home to a specific species that only inhabits particularly in this city.
