Mammals Tour 5/31

On the mammals tour we focus on a variety of squirrels due to the fact that our campus has no other mammals to support this group. The mammals group started off with a video of squirrels they took footage of and presented it to us in the classroom. I was very impressed with the footage the complied together and also the fact that it tied it really well with each member and the material they presented at their individual station. As we learned, the Eastern Grey squirrels dominate our campus by stunning people with their cuteness and funny antics. It was told that the western grey squirrels were driven out of our campus area by the Eastern Grey squirrels due to competition and dominance. A very interesting thing I learned was how and why squirrels scar tree branches with the teeth to mark territories and also the fact that some of the squirrels build nests!
