Crayfish

I'm coming back next year. You bet! And I have. Every year of my life. This chant has been stuck in my head since I was three, and my hot pink Crocs entered the front playground of Chautauqua Children’s School. I couldn't get enough. One would think that I’d be sick of school and want nothing to do with more learning in the summer. Not me. A lifetime of summers at Chautauqua Institution is a gift. Chautauqua's mission of lifelong exploration and discovery has molded me, inspired me, and…

What is the best wild hunter? Would you say wolves - a skilled group hunter? How about the peregrine falcon who is fast and agile, or maybe the killer whale known to be smart and resourceful?

This creature with many legs and crayfish-like tail was normally of a neutral behavior, but when provoked by a boat or another nuisance it could attack violently. Eurystheus assigned Hercules to go capture the Skolopendra on a fishing rod and bring it back to Mount Olympus for the…

My endangered species is called the Bog Turtle. The Latin name for the bog turtle is the Glyptemys Muhlenberg. The bog turtle is the smallest turtle species in North America, growing to only 3 to 4 inches and weighing less than 4 ounces. They are mostly found in the northeast U.S region. My species is going to go extinct because bog turtles are not needed much in the food chain and the animals that do consume it, the turtle isn’t their primary source of food intake, there aren’t many left and…
