Greetings Nature Detectives! Can you believe it’s November, and the Holiday Season is upon us?!

But remember, just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you and the kids can get out there and play and explore nature! Dress is layers and keep moving, you’ll keep plenty warm. Besides, it’s a great excuse to make hot chocolate — to warm up after an outdoor adventure!

So, let’s get to our Mystery Critter. Put on your thinking caps and let’s get to it! And remember — no cheating. ;-)

CRITTER CLUES:

  • I make my home in pine-oak forests and woodlands
  • I have a unique voice
  • I was once almost hunted to extinction
  • I am a fast runner
  • I am a polygamist

So, what am I?

Make your guess then go to eNature for the answer and more interesting facts.

Did you get it right?

If not, no worries. You will have another chance soon!

Remember, when looking for wildlife, keep your eyes and ears open! What critters can you spot in your neck of the woods this weekend? Be sure to tell us!

And don’t forget! Join the Wildobs community and share your wild adventures with the world.

Perspective. Practicing what I preach. At the beach. At play. Critters and sandcastles. Happiness. Joy.

At The Beach

You roll down the window
And even before you see it
You smell that salty, ocean scent
You already know your there
At the beach

Where the breeze is best
Where the sun is most powerful
Mother Nature’s birthplace
At the beach

There so much to do
Starting from building sand castles
To finding shells so odd looking
To riding tsunami on your surfboard
To tanning yourself like bread in the toaster
To fishing with your grandpa
To snorkeling with fish
To going on cruises
To riding a dolphin
Just so much to do
The list is as big as space
As long as infinity
At the beach

As you walk on the shore
You see the sky red as the sun sits on the water
You feel the sand filling the gaps between your toes
You hear the soothing sounds of the waves
At the beach

Some claim to see the most wondrous things
Like beautiful mermaids sitting on rocks
Or the mysterious Loch Ness Monster
And even the lost city of Atlantis
At the beach

There nothing better than the beach
Where beauty was given its name
Where Happiness cannot be expressed
At the beach
