Wilderness Wednesday

Wild or not wild?

• Question: what is the difference between wildlife and domesticated animals?

• wildlife range from amoeba to whales and make unsuitable pets (and many times are illegal - like raccoons).
• Domesticated animals are useful to humans and are tame. Most tame animals allow human touch. Farm animals have been domesticated over a long period of time through breeding. All domesticated animals are descendants of wild animals. Some zoo animals may act tame.
• If a domesticated animal becomes wild we call them "feral" animals. Cats and horses are examples of animals that can become wild.
• Many animals, wild or domesticated, may bite, scratch or kick to protect themselves. 
• The important lesson is to be careful and respectful around all animals, particularly ones you do not know. I have seen many children put their hands right into a pigs mouth! Chomp!
• Think about: the difference between the day in the life of a dog and a squirrel.
• Go for an Animal Walk around your neighbourhood or to a park

• look for animals that are wild or not wild. 
• Which ones need people to give them food, water or shelter? 
• How did the animals act?
• Record your observations in your journal. 
• Draw the animals and write about what they were doing.
• Take a picture of your drawing and send to Mr. Neufeld
