What time is it? Well, it’s play time, of course — time to play Mystery Critter! Time to put your wildlife knowledge and sleuth skills to the test, and encourage everyone to get outside and explore nature.
So, let’s get to it! Put on those thinking caps and remember, no cheating. 
CRITTER CLUES:
- I am part of a very large family;
- You might call me a scavenger but I prefer to think of it as recycling;
- I am nocturnal; and
- In some parts of the world I am eaten, while in others I am used as a type of prize fighter.
What am I? Make your guess, and then go here for the answer and here for more interesting facts. Did you get it right?! If not, no worries — you’ll have another chance next week!
If you have never seen this Mystery Critter before, but I am sure you have seen a critter from its family. Wildlife comes in all shapes and sizes, so don’t forget to look from dirt level to skyline in your quest to become a true nature detective.
And don’t forget to let everyone know what you see! Join the Wildobs community and report your wildlife observations. It’s a great way to keep track of your wild adventures and share info with others.
See ya outside! ~ The Grass Stain Guru
