Most of us would agree that lions, tigers, sharks, bears and giraffes are impressive animals. But what about the other less flashy creatures hiding out in our cities, parks, backyards, and … even our houses? They are pretty cool, too. You just have to get to know them!

What do you know about the creatures that live near you?

We encourage you to learn something new about an animal that lives in your local area: a spider, a frog, or maybe a moth. You might be surprised what you find out. You might even discover a new favorite animal!
