History
This week is National Wildlife week!
Journal
Have you ever had an experience with wilderness or wild animals? Was it a positive or negative one? Did a close encounter with a particular animal change your previous ideas about that animal? (For example, did you see a great blue heron in the wild, and find that it was much more beautiful than in photographs? Or did you see a bear, and find it to be smaller and less intimidating than you had expected?)

Have you ever experienced wildlife in a zoo setting? If so, what were you able to learn about the natural history, preferred habitat, and threatened or endangered status of that animal?
