We had a great day at UNF's Wildlife Sanctuary! We learned about tracking animals and how much you can learn about an animal just from its tracks. Here are some pictures from the trip!

We learned about four different ways that animals walk: Diagonal walking, pacing, bounding, and galloping

Then we studied animal tracks to discover what type of animal might have left them.

We were joined for the day by Savanah and Natalie from Mr. Gibbons's class!
Unfortunately, due to the cold, most of the animals were out of sight. The only animal we could get a good look at was this grasshopper.
We had a great day at UNF! Our next field trip will be in March to the Marine Science Center!
