Animals are cool and you don't have to go to the zoo to see them. Just look outside in the woods or your own backyard!
- First find an animal — it could be a bird, a bug, a rodent, Dex, anything!
- To find where they live you might have to get sneaky by looking in the grass, under a rock or behind a tree.
- Watch how they move then try imitating them. See if your friends can guess what you are.
- If you have a camera, take pictures of all the animals you track down. Be sure to get their good side.
