Mammal Lab


Today, a staff member from the Thorton Burgess Society of Sandwich came in to teach us more about mammals, especially those found in a Cape Cod forest. We saw evidence that an animal was in the forest, we saw their scats, exoskeletons, and their fur.We have been talking about invertabrates and vertabrates in class, there was a shell from a turtle and you could see its spine. Finally, we observed a live rabbit and a box turtle! Did you know a box turtle can live up to 150 years?!

  1. The mammal project was really fun! We got to see a rabbit and a box turtle. Also, we got to feel animal fur and got to see scat!

  2. What a fun way to learn about mammals in the forest. I love all the pictures you shared. Do you think you will see any of these animals on your field trip to the Mashpee Woodlands?
