What Would You Get…

What would you get if you crossed a chicken and a snail? What would you call it? What would it look like? Be very descriptive!

You would get a “snicken”. it would slurp up its food. It would walk on chicken feet. It would not make a noise.

Crazy Crows

One day there were five crows sitting on my ce. One was red. One was blue. One was green. One was purple. One was orange. They flew away one by one. But one stayed, so I kept him as a pet.

How to find banana slugs

Slugs are like snails only they don’t have a shell. Their whole body except for their little antenna that have the eyes on the top is their only foot. We found this slug on the way to the beach. The road was wet from the rain. And that’s why the slug came out cause slugs like it when it gets wet, just like worms do. So to find slugs you just need to go for a walk after the rain. Look on roads or trails and you will find tons of them. Another good spot to look for slugs after the rain is in the garden. Slugs eat your vegetables! Watch out! Slugs really do feel slimy. The banana slug can have different colors, even bright yellow, depending on what it ate. While I was looking for salamanders the other day, I turned over a piece of wood with moss on it and I felt something slimy. It was a banana slug. It was not poisonous. Now you know about banana slugs.

Did you ever touch a slug?

How to find Salamanders

salamander

Mostly, salamanders are at wet places. Everything you find that has moss growing on it, turn it over because there might be a salamander. I even found a fat girl salamander with eggs in it. I thought it was a Canadian night crawler. But when I pulled it out of the dirt, it had legs and was a salamander. Rocks with moss on them definitely look under them. Especially if they’re near a tree. Salamanders love the moist wet land. Salamanders feel ewey and gooey. But they don’t bite, so don’t worry. you can pick them up whenever you want. Just don;t squeeze them too hard in case they have eggs. Turn them over on their back and if they have a big belly with eggs inside it’s a female. They are amphibians. They are like lizards, but they are slower. All other amphibians like toads and frogs and newts are related to salamanders because they are amphibians too.

This picture of the salamander that my dad took, the girl salamander we found was on my thumb and it raised one if it’s front legs. And it looks like it’s waiving Hi! The big fat salamander I found which is a girl, it burled underground. Their eyes are black. Some of the salamanders have black skin and some of the salamanders have brown skin.

Does anyone know what kind of salamander this is?

How to find Earth Worms

You go in the garden to the compost heap. You dig until you find some worms, probably only just one scoop. If you find a night crawler, you can take some pictures of it. You can also find other kinds of worms like red worms. You can go fishing with your worms or put them back in the compost pile.

Look at all the worms I got. There were hundreds more in the compost heap. Some people eat earth worms, but I don’t know how to cook them. I put these guys back in the compost heap.

Where did you find earth worms?
