Did you know a possum's favorite food is ticks? Or a skunk can spray 15 to 18 feet away? A beaver's teeth are actually orange? First graders learned these facts and more when Wendy Lott, a naturalist from the Twin Pines Conservation Center in Winona, came a few weeks ago and did a presentation for our first graders about fur bearers. The students learned about different animals as well as got to even touch their furs! We would like to thank Wendy and Twin Pines Conservation Center for presenting to us.
