| "These look kind of like deer tracks," said Emily, "but they're smaller and not as pointy."
"The scat is different, too," added Michael. "Who pooped here?" "That skunk smell is a clue," said Dad. "But, Dad! Skunks don't have hooves!" said Emily. "It wasn't a skunk," said Mom. "These tracks are from a collared peccary." "That's a funny name," Emily giggled. "What's a peccary?" "They're kind of like wild pigs," answered Dad. "Remember, they are wild animals, so don't get close." -from pages 22-23 |
