Animal Pelts

Day 18/100Day Project

At a Virginia Naturalist educational booth today, I admired these beautiful shiny pelts from various mammals. A family came to the table, and their children, like me, guessed about half of the pelts correctly. It was such a pleasure to watch the kid’s fascination and genuine interest in learning about these animals. In a time where children’s dictionaries delete names of plants and replace them with computer related terms, it is so important to expose children to the natural world.

Would you know which fur belongs to a coyote, skunk, beaver, fox, or river otter? Does it matter to you to know the difference?
