Utah Safari Time

Congratulations! You have been selected to go on a safari to find some unusual animals that live in Utah. Bring your camping gear, camera and notebook and let's go!

Bobcat: Animal Habitats

http://tqd.advanced.org/11234/bobcat.html

  1. Lucky you! You have snuck up with your camera and happen to see a bobcat eating. It looks like it has caught two different animals. What might they be?

 

Beaver: Animal Habitats

  1. Look! Over there in the pond. Isn't that a beaver? I think that's one of the largest beavers I've ever seen! How much do you think it weighs?

 

Raccoon: Animal Habitats

  1. Oops! You're out of film. You weren't able to get a picture of this cute little raccoon. Since you don't have a picture, write three sentences that will describe what it looked like.

 

Alpine Biome

  1. What a beautiful area we get to explore now. Take some time to look around and enjoy the lovely scenery and wildlife. Two animals are especially interesting--the wapiti and marmots. Pick one and write a short paragraph telling at least four interesting facts about the animal you picked.

 

Antelope Island-Where the Deer, Bison and Pronghor

  1. Antelope Island! What a fantastic place! There is so much wildlife to video here. We could stay for days and see something new each day. Spend awhile here. Make a list of all the animals you see. Sketch your favorite.

 

Bear River Bird Refuge

  1. This is one site that has lots of birds. Name at least three of them. But birds are not the only kinds of animals there. What mammals can you find?

 

Flora and Fauna of High Uintahs

http://www.surweb.org/search/view_custom_show.asp?page=5&change=150

  1. Breathe the fresh mountain air! No pollution up here! Lots of animals live in these Uintah mountains, but none cuter than a tiny little striped animal. Find it with your camera and make a careful drawing of it.
