Ground squirrel

like it there, but he slowly begins to think of Edenboro as his home. He finds animals very interesting. For instance, it states on page 20, that he would sit on a big rock in the shade of a cottonwood tree and look around for animals like mice, ground squirrels, lizards, javelinas, and snakes back in Tucson. Then, on page 21, you learn about how Ben and his friend, Toby, created a terrarium named Desert World. They would put ants and stinkbugs, a western…

as a bear can be. Charlie effortlessly popped back into his squirrel form (a weird sight to say the least) and jumped back into the tree. Autumn’s mind was wiped of any human thought again and she galloped through the forest with freedom coursing through her. Through the forest trees, over mossy stones and tiny rivers, into thick tangles of underbrush and piles of dead leaves, they moved. Autumn's keen eyes followed the tiny furry squirrel leaping from tree to tree and she wondered if Charlie…

down to the river to find food. As we head deeper into the dried up river, we find berries and a few round silver looking thing that my human seemed happy about. As we walk more I run over to something that looks like a big squirrel. As I get closer I find it’s not a squirrel, but rather a blanket like the one my human puts on me every night. That blanket keeps me warm. As I think back to the nights we have spent together, I realize he never had a blanket to keep him warm. I pick up the blanket…

the observation but not many were physically present while we were there. However, a refugia was spotted on the bottom of the tree that had a humungous gall present near the river. It could have possibly been for the smaller species such as the squirrels, chipmunks, or other rodents. I would think this is a good tactic for survival for the species that live there since many predators might know the tree is infected so they can steer away from the tree. Glenview Woods consists of all different…

tree stratum zone where the trees range from 60-100 feet tall. The second zone is small trees and saplings. Number three is shrubs along with number four being herbs, like a fern. Lastly, the fifth zone is ground where mosses grow. Animals found in the temperate deciduous forest are squirrels, rabbits, birds, deer, and black bears. Some of the animals adapt by hibernating during the winter season to store energy and live off the land…

off the trees, or how the dewy grass glistened in the sunlight. Maybe I could look even deeper into nature and possibly see the itty bitty intermolecular forces that kept a spiderweb intact. Brought back into reality, I spot brown fur laying on the ground. I run over and sure enough, it's my trophy buck. Hunting, while great for bragging rights and showing off skills, allows me to dive deeper into nature and understand the meaning of…

The mexican gray wolf almost became extinct. “In 1976, the mexican wolf was placed on the Endangered Species List, making the recovery of the species a federal concern.” It is currently the most endangered species in North America. Not many people know this because almost every one of them are dead. Not too many people know that the mexican wolf has a legendary spine-tingling howl it uses it to communicate with other wolves. The mexican wolf may be found in the southern states with creamy black…

heart fly to my head, and for all I know, my kidney may now be in my arm. I found myself smiling the whole trip down. I rode with my friend, Summer. I looked at her, and I could tell we were thinking the same thing, “WHOA!” We plummeted toward the ground, then at the last possible second we pulled up towards the sky. Then, the other passengers and I twist and turn in our seats having the thrill of a lifetime.The roller coaster came to an abrupt stop, probably giving us all whiplash. Thinking…

before frantically shaking my foot due to unexpectedness. As I head out, my attention immediately catched the swing set, where the wind is carefully swaying it back and forth. I flashbacked sitting in the chair of how my feet couldn't even touch the ground and here I am, now too big to fit in. Rust runs up and down the chain, as I remember how it was all pretty and brand new when my family first got it. The pool looks as dead as a ghost town, with now orange and brown leaves that fell from the…

The Great Outdoors: A View from My Roof I sit here on the garage roof before the crack of dawn gazing out at the dark sky waiting for the sun to begin to ascend over the vast horizon. I have the baby monitor in my pocket. It is producing a low sonance. Along with it you can begin to hear a small child fuss soon to be awakening from his nighttime slumber. The air is crisp and clean like your clothes when they are fresh out of the dryer and you bury your face in them and embrace the scent that…
