Our Field Trip To The Fluvarium

We went on a field trip to The Fluvarium. It was fun! We learned a lot.

We saw lots of fish.  They swim under the ice and in the  muddy water.  They swim slowly in winter because they don't want to get too tired or hungry.  They can't catch much food in the winter.  In the spring the fish will swim faster because it is warmer and they will be able to find more food.

We saw frogs.  The frogs were not hibernating because they live inside the Fluvarium. Frogs are slimy and wet.  If the circle behind the eye is bigger than an eye it is a boy.  If it is smaller than the eye it is a girl.  In winter, frogs go in the mud and they sleep.  Frogs hibernate for 7 months.

We saw a snowshoe hare and snowshoe hare footprints.  Showshoe hare stay active in winter.  Showshoe hare are brown but they turn white in winter.  People and other animals can't see them when they are white.  They are camouflaged and will be safe from hunters and other animals.
