Man, if you were a dog, you would be the happiest animal alive. Trees for miles around. Trees as far as the eye can see. What a great place! We won't have to worry about getting too hot here. There is soooo much shade. It's actually hard to see the Sun. It's hard to see anything but the trees. . . . . Wondering what might be watching you from above, or from around that tree trunk? Well, swing into action and find out all you can about forest habitats, and the animals that live there.
Be sure to record all of your findings on your journal sheets.
