Description
In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence. By setting out animal bait that has nontoxic, blacklight fluorescent powder mixed in, and waiting a couple nights or more, learners can discover glow-in-the dark signs of where night mammals have been and what they did. Learners consider what night animals are most abundant in a particular area, what favorite trails they used, and how human bait provision affects wild animals.
