The Animals We Have Seen!

We are still on our trip to Alaska and Canada.  Soon we will head for home.  It has been so much fun!

We have seen many animals on our trip.  We have seen moose and bear.

Some of the animals that we have seen are very special.  They are called endangered animals.  When an animal is endangered, it means that there are only a few of them left in the wild.  Bald eagles, grizzly bears, and wood bison are all endangered animals.

If you would like to learn more about endangered animals, we found some fun activity books for you!  Just click here to download them:
