Wolves! Foxes! Coyotes!

I visited a place called Wolf Mountain in New York and it was an awesome experience! I got to see Arctic Foxes, Coyotes, and Wolves! At noon the fire department put off a siren. At that moment, all the canines started howling! It was a really cool thing to see! And I have pictures!

                                                  In this shot you can see a wolf howling

                               In this shot you can see the inside of a wolfs mouth! It was yawning.

                                       And look at this sleepy one! It looks like a big domestic dog!

                             And this is definitely my favorite picture. Look how pretty its eyes are.

                             This is a shot of the two Arctic Foxes. these are their summer coats.

                                                            And here's a Coyote!
                                                    

                                                   I hope you enjoyed the pictures!

Ahhh Poison Ivy!

Toxicodendron radicans, more known as Poison Ivy, is a plant everyone try's to avoid. Can you guess why? The name says it all. It's Poison to your skin! When most people touch the leaves or vines or get it on their clothes, they get blisters,rashes, and get itchy all over. But some people are lucky enough to be immune to it. But don't touch it to test! Many plants look similar to Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy has long, brown vines that are hairy looking that climb up trees and other plants. The leaves are green, the top of the leaf is shiny and the bottom is fuzzy. If the leaves are light green, the plant is young. If the leaves are dark green, the plant is mature. In fall the leaves turn bright red. Have you ever heard the saying " Leaves of three, leave it be?" It's good to follow that saying because Poison Ivy has 3 leaves. Poison Ivy also has white berries. If you happen to touch Poison Ivy, wash yourself immediately or as soon as possible. And if you get Poison Ivy and have a rash, Calamine lotion may help with symptoms.
