Introduction

Since you already know a lot about mammals, we'd like you to investigate a little bit more.

Let's see if you can add research skills to what you already know and learn something new!

Are you ready???

Here we go!

For this web quest, you must answer the following questions about some exceptional mammals.

Check out the websites below to search for the information and try to answer as many questions as you can before class is over.

At the end, you have to come to your own conclusions about what you learned.

Process

1. Read all questions carefully.
